INGREDIENTS
2 oz chickpea pasta
4 oz chicken breast
2 cups fresh spinach
2 tablespoons light cream cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to boil and cook chickpea pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water before draining.
While pasta cooks, slice chicken breast into thin strips and season with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken strips for 5-6 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits.
Reduce heat to medium-low and add light cream cheese, stirring until it starts to melt.
Add fresh spinach and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes.
Return chicken to the pan and add cooked pasta. Toss everything together, adding reserved pasta water as needed to create a silky sauce.
Adjust seasoning to taste and serve immediately while hot.
