Lemon-Herb Chicken Pasta Bake
Tender chicken and protein-rich pasta are baked in a bright, zesty lemon sauce with wilted spinach and a savory parmesan crust.
INGREDIENTS
2.5 oz chickpea pasta
2.75 oz chicken breast
0.25 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
1 cup fresh spinach
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
0.25 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tbsp plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp dried oregano
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a small baking dish.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta for 2 minutes less than the package instructions suggest, then drain.
While pasta cooks, dice the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and season with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden brown on all sides, about 5-6 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, chicken broth, minced garlic, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
In the baking dish, toss the cooked pasta, seared chicken, and fresh spinach with the yogurt sauce until everything is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the top and bake for 15 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the spinach is wilted.
Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving hot.
