Creamy Garlic Parmesan Pasta
Pan-seared chicken and whole grain pasta are tossed in a velvety garlic-parmesan yogurt sauce with vibrant spinach for a comforting, nutrient-dense meal.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup whole wheat penne
0.25 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
2 tbsp parmesan cheese
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1 cup baby spinach
0.25 cup chicken broth
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp red pepper flakes
PREPARATION
Boil the whole wheat penne in salted water according to package directions until al dente, then drain.
Season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side.
Remove chicken from the pan, let it rest for 3 minutes, then slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits.
Add the baby spinach and cook until just wilted.
Reduce heat to low and whisk in the Greek yogurt and parmesan cheese until a smooth sauce forms.
Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken back to the skillet, tossing gently to coat in the sauce.
Garnish with red pepper flakes and serve immediately.
