Creamy Zesty Lemon Herb Pasta
Sautéed chicken and whole wheat pasta tossed in a velvety lemon-yogurt sauce with fresh herbs and vibrant spinach for a bright, refreshing finish.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz whole wheat pasta
0.25 cup non-fat greek yogurt
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 cup fresh baby spinach
1 tbsp fresh parsley
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente.
While pasta cooks, reserve 2 tablespoons of the starchy pasta water, then drain the rest.
Season the chicken breast with half of the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, then stir in the fresh baby spinach until just wilted.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, and the reserved pasta water to create a smooth sauce.
Reduce the skillet heat to low, add the cooked pasta and the yogurt sauce, tossing gently to coat everything evenly.
Garnish with fresh parsley and the remaining salt and pepper before serving warm.
