INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz chicken breast
0.75 cup whole wheat penne
0.5 cup tomato puree
0.25 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic

0.25 cup fresh basil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper

Boil a pot of salted water and cook pasta according to package directions until al dente.
While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Season chicken with salt and pepper, then sear until golden and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side.
Remove chicken from skillet and set aside to rest, then slice into strips.
In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in tomato puree and red pepper flakes, simmering for 3-4 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and whisk in the Greek yogurt until the sauce is smooth and pink.
Add spinach and cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing until the greens are wilted.
Return chicken to the pan and garnish with fresh torn basil before serving.
