Creamy Lemon Garlic Chicken and Whole Wheat Pasta with Fresh Spinach
Savor the bright, zesty charm of lemon and the warm embrace of garlic in this creamy chicken pasta dish. Tender chicken breast mingles with whole wheat pasta and fresh spinach, all tossed in a light, Greek yogurt-based sauce for a healthful yet satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 cup Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1.5 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 cloves Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by cooking the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove the chicken and let it rest before slicing.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the lemon juice and stir to deglaze the pan.
Lower the heat and stir in the Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce, mixing well with the garlic lemon mixture.
Add the cooked pasta and fresh spinach into the skillet, tossing until the spinach wilts and everything is well combined.
Slice the chicken breast and arrange on top of the pasta. Serve warm, adjusting salt and pepper to taste.
