Ingredients
Scale
8 oz of whole wheat pasta
1 lb of chicken breast
4 cloves of garlic (minced)
½ cup of Parmesan cheese (grated)
2 tbsp of olive oil
2 cups of fresh spinach
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Optional: 1 tsp of red pepper flakes
Instructions
Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 8 ounces of whole wheat pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually around 8 to 10 minutes.
While the pasta cooks, take 1 pound of chicken breast and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the chicken, cooking until browned and cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes.
Once the chicken is cooked, stir in 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant. Subsequently, toss in 2 cups of fresh spinach and cook until wilted, stirring frequently.
Once the pasta is done, drain it and add it to the skillet with the chicken and spinach mixture. Sprinkle in ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese and stir well to combine.
Finally, taste your dish and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes for heat. Serve immediately in bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
