Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Sautéed chicken breast tossed with chickpea pasta in a velvety pesto-yogurt sauce, accented by the chewy sweetness of sun-dried tomatoes.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz boneless skinless chicken breast
1 oz chickpea penne pasta
2 tbsp plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup fresh baby spinach
1 tsp avocado oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta until al dente, reserving two tablespoons of the cooking liquid before draining.
Season the diced chicken breast evenly with the sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the chicken until golden brown and cooked through.
Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and fresh baby spinach, cooking for one minute until the spinach is just wilted.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Greek yogurt, pesto, and reserved pasta water to create a smooth, creamy sauce.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss thoroughly to ensure every piece is coated in the vibrant pesto cream.
