INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 Garlic Clove
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove the chicken and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly.
Reduce the heat to low and add the nonfat Greek yogurt to the skillet, stirring to combine with the garlic and olive oil to create a light creamy sauce. If needed, add a splash of reserved pasta water to thin the sauce.
Toss the cooked pasta and fresh spinach into the skillet, mixing gently until the spinach wilts slightly and the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce.
Add the sliced chicken back into the dish. Stir to incorporate all the flavors, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed before serving.
