Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Sautéed chicken breast and chickpea pasta tossed in a silky pesto sauce, featuring tangy sun-dried tomatoes and vibrant spinach for a bright, herbaceous finish.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz chickpea pasta
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp nonfat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup baby spinach
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 chickpea pasta according to package directions, reserving 2 tablespoons of pasta water before draining.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Season the cubed chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper, then add it to the skillet along with the minced garlic.
Sauté the chicken for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and baby spinach, cooking for 1-2 minutes until the spinach is just wilted.
In a small bowl, whisk together the basil pesto and nonfat Greek yogurt until smooth.
Lower the skillet heat to low, then add the cooked pasta, the pesto-yogurt mixture, and the reserved pasta water.
Toss everything together gently until the pasta is coated in a creamy, herbaceous sauce and serve immediately.
