Healthy Creamy Chicken Alfredo Pasta
Enjoy a lighter twist on the classic Alfredo by incorporating lean chicken breast, whole wheat pasta, and a creamy Greek yogurt-based sauce. This dish is both hearty and wholesome with a delightful balance of creamy texture, savory garlic, and fresh baby spinach and broccoli accents.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 cup Baby Spinach
1 cup Broccoli Florets
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 Garlic Cloves
Salt and Pepper
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the chicken until fully cooked and lightly golden on both sides, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and let it rest before slicing into strips.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
Add the baby spinach and allow it to wilt for about 1 minute.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce. Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet and combine well with the vegetables.
Mix in the sliced chicken and gently toss everything to evenly distribute the sauce and ingredients. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Serve warm and enjoy your healthy twist on creamy chicken Alfredo pasta.
