Creamy Garlic Parmesan Pasta with Spinach
Pan-seared chicken breast and chickpea pasta tossed in a velvety garlic-parmesan sauce with wilted spinach for a nourishing, protein-packed meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
2 oz chickpea pasta
1 cup fresh spinach
2 cloves garlic
0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
0.5 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 2 tablespoons of pasta water before draining.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with half of the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and let rest before slicing into strips.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the minced garlic, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
Whisk together the Greek yogurt, grated parmesan, and the reserved pasta water in a small bowl until smooth.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until just wilted, then turn the heat to low.
Stir the yogurt mixture into the skillet, followed by the cooked pasta and sliced chicken breast.
Toss everything together until the pasta is coated in a creamy sauce. Season with the remaining salt and pepper.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
