Creamy Garlic Chicken Alfredo Pasta
Pan-seared chicken breast and whole wheat penne tossed in a velvety garlic-parmesan sauce made with Greek yogurt for a protein-packed finish.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz chicken breast
0.75 cup cooked whole wheat penne
0.25 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
2 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
Cook the whole wheat penne according to the package directions, ensuring you reserve two tablespoons of the starchy pasta water before draining.
Season the chicken breast evenly with the sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
In a large skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat and sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken to a cutting board to rest, then add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Turn the heat to low and whisk in the Greek yogurt, grated parmesan, and reserved pasta water until a smooth, creamy sauce forms.
Fold in the fresh baby spinach and stir until it just begins to wilt into the sauce.
Slice the chicken into strips and return it to the pan along with the cooked pasta, tossing everything together until beautifully coated.
