Cooking Steps
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the whole wheat pasta and cook for about 8-10 minutes until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water before draining.
- In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté cubed chicken breast seasoned with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning for 5-6 minutes until golden brown.
- Reduce heat, and add minced garlic to the skillet, sautéing for 30-60 seconds until fragrant.
- Sprinkle whole wheat flour over garlic, stirring continuously for about 30 seconds to form a roux.
- Gradually whisk in chicken broth and then low-fat milk, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Lower the heat, mix in Greek yogurt and grated Parmesan cheese until creamy. Adjust thickness with reserved pasta water.
- Return chicken to the skillet along with pasta and spinach, mixing well to coat evenly, and heat through for 2-3 minutes.
- Serve garnished with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!

Notes
Gentle heating of yogurt avoids curdling for a creamy texture. Season the chicken generously for enhanced flavor. Add spinach just before serving.
