Sautéed chicken breast and chickpea pasta tossed in a velvety pesto yogurt sauce with tangy sun-dried tomatoes and wilted spinach.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
2 oz chickpea pasta
2 tsp basil pesto
0.25 cup plain greek yogurt
2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup baby spinach
1 tsp olive oil
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 0.25 cup of pasta water before draining.
Season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden and cooked through, then remove and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, lower the heat and sauté the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the baby spinach until just wilted, then remove the skillet from the heat.
Whisk the Greek yogurt and pesto together in a small bowl, then stir into the skillet along with the cooked pasta and sliced chicken.
Gradually add the reserved pasta water 1 tablespoon at a time until the sauce reaches a silky, creamy consistency.
