Creamy Lemon-Herb Chicken Pasta
Tender sautéed chicken and whole wheat penne are folded into a velvety lemon-herb yogurt sauce with wilted baby spinach for a bright, clean finish.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
0.75 cup cooked whole wheat penne
0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 cup baby spinach
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp fresh parsley
1 tsp fresh basil
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to boil and cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions until al dente.
While pasta cooks, heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the diced chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper, then sauté in the skillet until golden brown and cooked through.
Add the minced garlic and baby spinach to the skillet, stirring for 1-2 minutes until the spinach is just wilted.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the cooked pasta and the creamy yogurt mixture until evenly coated.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and basil before serving warm.
