Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Sautéed chicken breast tossed with whole grain pasta in a velvety pesto sauce, featuring chewy sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz whole wheat penne
1 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup fresh spinach
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 clove garlic
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the chicken until golden brown and cooked through.
Add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until just wilted.
In a small bowl, whisk together the basil pesto and Greek yogurt with 2 tablespoons of the pasta cooking water to create a creamy sauce.
Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet, then pour the pesto mixture over the top and toss everything together until well-coated.
