Ingredients
  

8 oz (225g) pasta (penne or rotini works well)

1 lb (450g) chicken breast, diced

2 cups fresh spinach, chopped

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup Greek yogurt

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, seasoning it with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

      Add Garlic and Spinach: Stir in the minced garlic and chopped spinach. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring until the spinach is wilted and the garlic is fragrant.

        Prepare the Sauce: Lower the heat and add the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt to the skillet. Stir until smooth and well combined. Add the red pepper flakes for an extra kick if desired.

          Mix in the Cheeses: Gradually fold in the shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheeses melt and create a creamy sauce.

            Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and gently toss until the pasta is fully coated with the spinach dip sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

              Serve: Divide the Spinach Dip Chicken Pasta into serving bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
