Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta
Pan-seared chicken breast tossed with whole grain pasta in a velvety pesto-yogurt sauce, brightened by juicy burst cherry tomatoes.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz chicken breast
0.75 cup cooked whole grain penne pasta
1 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
1 cup fresh baby spinach
1 tsp olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 clove garlic
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly with the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 6 minutes per side.
Remove the chicken from the pan, let it rest for 5 minutes, and then slice it into bite-sized strips.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and halved cherry tomatoes, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes begin to blister.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cooked pasta, spinach, basil pesto, and Greek yogurt, tossing gently until the spinach is wilted and the sauce is creamy.
Add the sliced chicken back into the skillet, toss to combine all ingredients, and serve immediately.
