Creamy Lemon Herb Chicken Pasta
Sautéed chicken and whole wheat pasta tossed in a velvety lemon-yogurt sauce with vibrant spinach and fresh herbs.
INGREDIENTS
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
1 cup fresh spinach
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.5 tsp lemon zest
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Boil the whole wheat penne in salted water according to package directions; reserve 2 tablespoons of the pasta water before draining.
Season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until just wilted.
Turn the heat to low and stir in the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, and reserved pasta water until a smooth sauce forms.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing well to coat in the creamy sauce.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
