Enjoy a balanced dinner featuring tender pan-seared chicken breast paired with a creamy tomato sauce loaded with chickpeas and chickpea penne pasta, all brought together with a hint of Greek yogurt for added creaminess and a burst of flavor from fresh herbs and spices.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Chickpea Penne Pasta (dry)
1/2 cup Canned Diced Tomatoes
1/3 cup Canned Chickpeas (drained)
1/4 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Dried Basil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the chickpea penne pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and sear for about 4-5 minutes per side until fully cooked and nicely browned. Remove from pan and let rest before slicing.
In the same pan, add the canned diced tomatoes and drained chickpeas. Let simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Stir in the Greek yogurt to create a creamy tomato sauce, and add dried basil. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Combine the drained pasta with the tomato chickpea sauce, mixing well to coat evenly.
Slice the seared chicken breast and serve it atop the creamy pasta. Enjoy your delicious, protein-packed meal!
