Creamy Zesty Lemon Herb Pasta
Pan-seared chicken breast and al dente pasta tossed in a bright, velvety lemon-herb yogurt sauce with a refreshing citrus aroma.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz whole wheat penne
0.25 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
0.5 whole lemon
1 tbsp fresh parsley
1 tbsp fresh basil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 cup baby spinach
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne until al dente according to package directions.
Season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden and cooked through, then set aside to rest.
While the chicken rests, whisk together the Greek yogurt, the juice and zest from the lemon, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
Thinly slice the rested chicken and finely chop the fresh parsley and basil.
Drain the pasta, reserving two tablespoons of the cooking water, and return the pasta to the pot.
Stir in the yogurt sauce, sliced chicken, baby spinach, and fresh herbs, adding the reserved pasta water as needed to create a velvety consistency.
