Creamy Tomato Basil Pasta with Grilled Chicken
Grilled chicken and whole grain pasta tossed in a velvety tomato basil sauce made creamy with protein-rich Greek yogurt and fresh spinach.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz whole grain penne pasta
0.5 cup tomato puree
0.25 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 cup fresh baby spinach
2 cloves garlic
0.25 cup fresh basil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp dried oregano
PREPARATION
Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole grain penne according to package directions until al dente.
Season the chicken breast with half of the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and grill the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked, then set aside to rest before slicing.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the tomato puree and dried oregano, simmering for 3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and whisk in the Greek yogurt until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Add the baby spinach to the sauce, stirring until just wilted.
Fold the cooked pasta and sliced chicken into the sauce, garnishing with freshly chopped basil and the remaining salt and pepper.
