Creamy Chicken, Spinach, and Artichoke Pasta

August 27, 2014 by Michelle Leave a Comment

This pasta is sooo good, and it is a quick and easy weeknight meal. You can’t beat that! The sauce is kind of alfredoish (yes, I know that is not a word), but maybe a smidge (apparently also not a word) healthier. I mean it has eight ounces of Mascarpone cheese and a cup of Parmesan cheese in it, but that is balanced with non-fat Greek yogurt and olive oil. And, when you compare that with butter and heavy cream, it comes out on top. And, it has chicken, spinach, and artichokes mixed in, which make it completely yummy and gives you some veggies.

I served this over whole grain corkscrew pasta, but any pasta would work. We eat whole grain to keep blood glucose levels down, and our grocery store frequently has it by-one-get-one-free, and this is just the shape I had on hand. I used a pound of boneless skinless chicken breast and sliced them. I bought the thin sliced kind because they are easier to cut, but whatever you prefer (or can find) will work.
