Creamy Zesty Green Chili Spaghetti
Sautéed chicken and chickpea pasta tossed in a velvety green chili yogurt sauce, finished with a bright squeeze of lime for a refreshing zing.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz chickpea spaghetti
0.25 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
4 oz diced green chilis
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 cup baby spinach
0.25 cup diced red bell pepper
1 tbsp lime juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp fresh cilantro
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea spaghetti according to package directions until al dente.
Reserve 2 tablespoons of the pasta cooking water, then drain the noodles and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breast with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, then add to the skillet and sauté until golden and cooked through.
Add the diced red bell peppers to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes until just tender.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the diced green chilis and baby spinach, stirring until the spinach is just wilted.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and lime juice until smooth.
Add the cooked spaghetti and reserved pasta water to the skillet, then pour in the yogurt mixture.
Toss everything gently over low heat until the sauce is creamy and evenly coats the pasta.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve warm.
