INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1/2 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
Pinch of Salt
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast lightly with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, until fully cooked and lightly golden.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. In the same pan, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant for about 30 seconds.
Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and let it simmer for 2 minutes to deglaze the pan.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the plain nonfat Greek yogurt gradually, mixing well to create a creamy sauce without curdling.
Add the fresh spinach and let it wilt into the sauce for about 1 minute.
Slice the cooked chicken breast into strips and add it back to the pan along with the drained pasta. Toss everything together to combine and heat through.
Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary, then serve warm.
