Cooking Instructions
- In a large pot, boil salted water and cook the whole wheat pasta until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water before draining.
- Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add cubed chicken seasoned with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Sauté until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes. Set chicken aside.
- In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed and sauté the minced garlic for 30-60 seconds, being careful not to brown it.
- Stir in the whole wheat flour and cook for 30 seconds. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, then add the low-fat milk, cooking until thickened (about 2-3 minutes).
- Mix in the Greek yogurt until fully combined. Add grated Parmesan cheese, adjusting thickness with reserved pasta water if necessary.
- Return the sautéed chicken to the skillet, add in the cooked pasta and optional spinach, and gently toss until everything is well coated.
- Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan.
