Creamy Lemon-Herb Chicken Pasta
Sautéed chicken and whole grain pasta tossed in a silky lemon-yogurt sauce with fresh spinach for a bright, zesty finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
2.5 oz whole wheat penne pasta
2 tsp olive oil
2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
1 cup fresh spinach
1 clove garlic
0.5 whole lemon
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp pasta water
PREPARATION
Boil a pot of salted water and cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions until al dente, reserving 2 tablespoons of pasta water before draining.
While pasta cooks, dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, then stir in the fresh spinach until just wilted.
Reduce heat to low, then stir in the cooked pasta, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, and reserved pasta water.
Toss everything together until a creamy sauce forms and coats the pasta evenly, then serve immediately.
