INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz Chicken Breast (cooked, roasted)
0.75 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
0.25 cup Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
0.5 teaspoon Chili Flakes
0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with smoked paprika, chili flakes, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add the seasoned chicken and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and fully cooked. Remove from pan and let it rest before slicing.
In the meantime, prepare whole wheat pasta as per package instructions until al dente, then drain.
Lower the heat to medium-low and add the spinach to the same skillet, stirring gently until it wilts, about 1 minute.
Stir in low-fat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce, mixing well with the spinach and leftover spices in the pan.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat it evenly with the creamy, smoky sauce.
Slice the rested chicken breast and arrange atop the pasta, drizzling any remaining sauce over the top.
Serve immediately and enjoy a balanced blend of smoky, spicy flavors with a creamy finish.
