Creamy Garlic Parmesan Pasta with Spinach
Pan-seared chicken breast and al dente pasta tossed in a velvety garlic-parmesan sauce with wilted spinach for a comforting, nutrient-dense meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken breast
1.5 oz Whole wheat penne
0.25 cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp Grated parmesan cheese
1 cup Fresh baby spinach
1 clove Garlic
0.5 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
2 tbsp Reserved pasta water
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne until al dente, reserving two tablespoons of the cooking water before draining.
Season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 6 minutes per side.
Remove the chicken from the pan to rest, then slice it into thin strips.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the fresh baby spinach to the skillet and cook until just wilted, then remove the pan from the heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, parmesan cheese, and reserved pasta water until smooth.
Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken back into the skillet, pour the yogurt mixture over the top, and toss everything together until the sauce is creamy and well-distributed.
