Creamy Pesto Chicken and Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta
Pan-seared chicken tossed with whole wheat penne in a velvety pesto-yogurt sauce, featuring tangy sun-dried tomatoes and fresh wilted spinach for a vibrant finish.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz whole wheat penne
1 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp plain non-fat 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 whole wheat penne until al dente, reserving 2 tablespoons of pasta water before draining.
Season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper, then sear in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until golden and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the pan to rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, sautéing for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the basil pesto and plain Greek yogurt until a smooth, creamy sauce forms.
Add the cooked pasta, sliced chicken, and baby spinach to the skillet, tossing gently with the reserved pasta water until the spinach is wilted and the sauce coats everything evenly.
