Creamy Lemon Herb Chicken Pasta
Pan-seared chicken breast tossed with protein-rich chickpea pasta in a bright, velvety lemon-garlic sauce finished with fresh baby spinach.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Boneless skinless chicken breast
2 oz Chickpea rotini pasta
2 tbsp Plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 cup Fresh baby spinach
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
0.5 tsp Lemon zest
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions, reserving 2 tablespoons of pasta water before draining.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Lower the heat and stir in the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, and the reserved pasta water to create a smooth, creamy sauce.
Add the cooked pasta and fresh baby spinach to the skillet, tossing gently until the spinach is just wilted.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
