Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta
Pan-seared chicken and chickpea pasta are tossed in a velvety garlic-parmesan yogurt sauce with wilted spinach for a nutrient-dense meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz chickpea pasta
0.25 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
0.5 tbsp 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 chickpea pasta according to package directions, reserving 2 tablespoons of the pasta water before draining.
Season the chicken breast evenly with the sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the skillet to rest, then lower the heat and add minced garlic to the same pan, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Whisk the Greek yogurt, parmesan cheese, and reserved pasta water into the skillet over low heat to create a smooth, creamy sauce.
Add the fresh baby spinach to the sauce and stir until it just begins to wilt.
Slice the rested chicken into strips and toss it back into the skillet along with the cooked pasta, stirring until everything is thoroughly coated in the sauce.
