Enjoy a delightful fusion of spicy, herb-infused chicken paired with creamy pasta tossed in a tangy, light Greek yogurt sauce. This dish offers a perfect balance of robust flavors and satisfying creaminess, accented with a burst of fresh herbs and a hint of red pepper for an extra kick.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
2 tbsp Tomato Paste
1/2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the seasoned chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove the chicken and slice it into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, add the tomato paste and mix well with the garlic-infused oil. Stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt and fresh basil to form a creamy sauce, and let it warm through.
Return the sliced chicken to the skillet and toss gently to coat with the creamy, spicy sauce. Next, add the cooked pasta and mix until everything is well combined.
Adjust salt and pepper to taste and serve warm.
