INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/4 cup Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt
1 Garlic Clove
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/4 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
Pinch of Black Pepper
Pinch of Salt
PREPARATION
Cook whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
While the pasta cooks, heat a teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and black pepper, then add to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and lightly golden.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any bits from the chicken for extra flavor.
Lower the heat and stir in the Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce, then add fresh spinach and allow it to wilt.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips and return it to the skillet along with the drained pasta. Toss everything together until well coated in the creamy garlic sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if desired before serving.
