Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add whole wheat pasta, and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water before draining.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat, add cubed chicken breast seasoned with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Sauté until golden and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 30-60 seconds until fragrant.
- Sprinkle whole wheat flour into the skillet, stirring continuously for about 30 seconds to form a roux. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and low-fat milk, cooking until the sauce thickens.
- Lower the heat, add Greek yogurt, stirring until smooth, then add grated Parmesan cheese and mix until melted. If too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water.
- Return cooked chicken and juices to the skillet, add drained pasta and spinach if using, tossing everything together until well coated.
- Serve immediately, garnished with parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes
Mix Greek yogurt in at low heat to avoid curdling. Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 4 days. Freeze for up to 3 months.
