Lemon-Herb Chicken with Protein Pasta
Pan-seared chicken breast and chickpea pasta are tossed in a vibrant lemon-garlic sauce with tender wilted spinach for a bright and zesty finish.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz dry chickpea pasta
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 cup baby spinach
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente.
While pasta cooks, season the chicken breast evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat the olive oil in a large 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, let it rest for 3 minutes, then slice it into thin strips.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and baby spinach, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until the spinach is just wilted.
Return the cooked pasta and sliced chicken to the skillet, then stir in the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest to combine all the flavors.
