Creamy Pesto Chicken and Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta
Sautéed chicken and whole wheat pasta tossed in a velvety pesto-yogurt sauce with tangy sun-dried tomatoes and fresh baby spinach.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz boneless skinless chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked whole wheat penne
2 tbsp plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp chopped sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup fresh baby spinach
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove minced garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Boil the whole wheat penne in salted water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper, then sauté until cooked through and golden brown.
Stir in the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes, cooking for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the fresh baby spinach, stirring until it begins to wilt.
In a small bowl, whisk together the plain nonfat Greek yogurt and basil pesto until smooth.
Add the cooked pasta and the pesto-yogurt mixture to the skillet, tossing gently until the sauce is creamy and the pasta is well coated.
