Pan-Seared Chicken with Creamy Tomato Spinach Pasta
A light yet satisfying dish featuring juicy pan-seared chicken breast paired with whole wheat pasta enveloped in a creamy tomato and spinach sauce. This dish offers a balanced mix of tangy cherry tomatoes, fresh spinach, and aromatic garlic and onions, all brightened with a hint of olive oil and light cream for silky richness.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1/4 medium Onion
2 tbsp Light Cream
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and sear for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and aromatic, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes until they begin to soften.
Stir in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt, then pour in the light cream to create a light, creamy sauce. Let it simmer for another minute.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, stirring well to combine all ingredients and coat the pasta in the creamy sauce.
Slice the rested chicken breast into strips and serve atop or alongside the creamy tomato spinach pasta.
