Chicken and Cream Cheese Pasta
Sautéed chicken breast and whole grain pasta tossed in a velvety cream cheese sauce with wilted spinach for a comforting, nutrient-dense meal.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz boneless skinless chicken breast
1.5 oz dry whole grain penne pasta
1.5 tbsp cream cheese
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup fresh baby spinach
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.13 tsp red pepper flakes
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the penne according to package directions until al dente.
While pasta cooks, season the diced chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden and cooked through.
Reduce heat to medium, add minced garlic, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the chicken broth and cream cheese, whisking until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring until just wilted.
Drain the pasta, reserving a splash of pasta water, then toss the pasta into the skillet with the sauce.
Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and serve immediately.
