Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Sautéed chicken and whole wheat penne tossed in a velvety pesto sauce with tangy sun-dried tomatoes and wilted spinach for a vibrant, herbaceous finish.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz whole wheat penne
4 oz chicken breast
1 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp non-fat Greek yogurt
2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup fresh spinach
1 tsp olive oil
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions until al dente, reserving 2 tablespoons of pasta water before draining.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the diced chicken breast, sea salt, and black pepper.
Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, then add the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes, sautéing for another minute until fragrant.
Lower the heat and stir in the fresh spinach until it just begins to wilt.
Add the cooked pasta, basil pesto, non-fat Greek yogurt, and the reserved pasta water to the skillet.
Toss everything together until the sauce is creamy and coats the pasta evenly, then serve immediately.
