INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 Garlic Clove
1/4 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the whole wheat pasta. Cook according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side or until golden and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and slice into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any bits from the chicken.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the plain Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce. Add the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt into the sauce.
Mix in the cooked pasta and sliced chicken, ensuring everything is well coated with the creamy garlic sauce.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed before serving warm.
