Creamy Tomato-Vodka Chicken Penne
Sautéed chicken and whole grain penne tossed in a velvety tomato-vodka sauce made creamy with Greek yogurt and finished with fragrant fresh basil.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
1.25 oz whole wheat penne
0.5 cup tomato puree
0.25 cup Greek yogurt
1 tsp olive oil
1 tbsp vodka
1 clove garlic
1 small shallot
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.13 tsp red pepper flakes
2 tbsp fresh basil
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the penne until al dente, reserving a splash of pasta water before draining.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the diced chicken breast until golden and cooked through.
Lower the heat to medium and stir in the minced shallot and garlic, sautéing until the aromatics are translucent and fragrant.
Pour in the vodka to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom, and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half.
Stir in the tomato puree, sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, allowing the sauce to simmer gently for five minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and whisk in the Greek yogurt until the sauce is completely smooth and creamy.
Toss the cooked penne into the sauce, adding a bit of reserved pasta water if needed to reach your desired consistency, and serve topped with fresh basil.
