PREPARATION

1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne until al dente according to package instructions.
2
While the pasta cooks, dice the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes and season with sea salt and black pepper.
3
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the chicken until golden brown and cooked through.
4
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
5
Stir the fresh spinach into the skillet and cook until it just begins to wilt.
6
In a small bowl, whisk together the non-fat Greek yogurt and basil pesto until the mixture is smooth and combined.
7
Drain the pasta, reserving 2 tablespoons of the starchy cooking water.
8
Add the cooked pasta and the pesto-yogurt sauce to the skillet, tossing everything together with the reserved pasta water until a creamy coating forms.
