Creamy Lemon-Herb Chicken Pasta
Sautéed chicken and whole wheat pasta tossed in a velvety lemon-herb Greek yogurt sauce for a bright and zesty finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken breast
3 oz Whole wheat penne pasta
0.25 cup Plain Greek yogurt
1.5 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon juice
0.5 tsp Lemon zest
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
1 cup Fresh baby spinach
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions until al dente, reserving 2 tablespoons of pasta water before draining.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast evenly with the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Lower the heat to medium and stir in the minced garlic and fresh baby spinach, cooking just until the spinach has wilted.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, and the reserved pasta water until a smooth sauce forms.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the chicken and vegetables, then pour the yogurt sauce over the mixture.
Toss everything together gently until the pasta is well-coated and creamy, then garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
