Savor a delightful twist on classic pasta with tender chicken, whole wheat noodles and a light, creamy Greek yogurt sauce infused with garlic and herbs. This dish melds hearty protein and fiber-rich ingredients in a nutritious yet satisfying meal perfect for any time of the day.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 medium Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add whole wheat pasta. Cook according to package directions until al dente, then drain.
Meanwhile, season chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a pinch of dried oregano. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Sauté chopped onion and minced garlic in the skillet until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden brown. Once done, slice the chicken into strips.
Lower the heat and mix in the nonfat Greek yogurt with the cooked onion and garlic, stirring gently to create a creamy sauce. Add a splash of pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
Fold in the fresh spinach and let it wilt slightly in the warm sauce.
Combine the drained pasta with the creamy chicken mixture. Toss to evenly coat the pasta with the sauce.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired and serve immediately.
