Creamy Garlic Chicken Alfredo Pasta
Pan-seared chicken and whole wheat pasta tossed in a velvety garlic-yogurt sauce with wilted spinach for a comforting, high-protein dinner.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz whole wheat penne
0.5 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1 cup fresh baby spinach
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp dried oregano
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and sauté the minced garlic for one minute until fragrant.
Whisk together the Greek yogurt and parmesan cheese in a small bowl, then add it to the skillet with two tablespoons of reserved pasta water.
Add the cooked pasta and fresh baby spinach to the skillet, tossing gently until the sauce is creamy and the spinach is wilted.
Top the pasta with the sliced chicken and serve immediately while warm.
