Creamy Tuscan Chicken and Mushroom Pasta
Pan-seared chicken breast and earthy mushrooms tossed in a velvety sun-dried tomato sauce over al dente whole grain pasta.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz whole wheat penne
1 cup cremini mushrooms
1 cup fresh baby spinach
2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
2 cloves garlic
0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp dried oregano
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-high heat and add the chicken breast seasoned with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Sear the chicken for 5 to 6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through, then remove from the skillet and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add the sliced cremini mushrooms and minced garlic, sautéing for 4 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and fragrant.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and fresh baby spinach, allowing the spinach to wilt for 1 minute.
Whisk in the plain Greek yogurt, grated parmesan cheese, and reserved pasta water to create a smooth, creamy sauce base.
Return the sliced chicken to the skillet and toss with the cooked penne until every noodle is evenly coated in the Tuscan sauce.
