INGREDIENTS

4 oz chicken breast

1.5 oz whole grain penne pasta

0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

2 cloves fresh garlic

1 cup fresh baby spinach

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp dried oregano

PREPARATION

• 1

  Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole grain pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 2 tablespoons of pasta water before draining.

• 2

  While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.

• 3

  Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and slice into thin strips.

• 4

  In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and sauté the minced fresh garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.

• 5

  Stir in the plain Greek yogurt, grated parmesan cheese, and the reserved pasta water, whisking gently until a smooth, velvety sauce forms.

• 6

  Add the cooked pasta, sliced chicken, and fresh baby spinach to the skillet, tossing until the spinach is just wilted and the pasta is thoroughly coated in the sauce.
