Lemon Basil Feta Spaghetti
Pan-seared chicken and whole wheat pasta tossed in a zesty lemon-garlic sauce with fresh basil and creamy feta cheese.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken breast
1.5 oz Whole wheat spaghetti
1 oz Feta cheese
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
2 cup Baby spinach
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1 tsp Lemon zest
1 clove Garlic
0.25 cup Fresh basil
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.13 tsp Red pepper flakes
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and toss for 1-2 minutes until it is just wilted.
Drain the pasta, reserving 2 tablespoons of pasta water, and add both to the skillet with the chicken and spinach.
Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and julienned basil, tossing everything together to coat.
Remove from heat, sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese, and serve immediately.
