PREPARATION

1
Boil the penne in salted water until al dente, reserving a tablespoon of the cooking liquid before draining.
2
Season the diced chicken breast evenly with the sea salt and black pepper.
3
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the chicken until golden and cooked through.
4
Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the baby spinach and sun-dried tomatoes until the greens are just wilted.
5
In a small bowl, whisk together the basil pesto, Greek yogurt, and reserved pasta water to create a smooth, creamy sauce.
6
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and pour the pesto mixture over the top, tossing well to coat every noodle.
