Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Sautéed chicken and chickpea pasta tossed in a velvety pesto-yogurt sauce with vibrant sun-dried tomatoes and wilted spinach for a savory, nutrient-dense meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz chickpea pasta
1 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup baby spinach
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the diced chicken breast.
Season the chicken with sea salt and black pepper, cooking until golden brown and cooked through.
Add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet, sautéing for one minute until fragrant.
Stir in the baby spinach and cook just until wilted, then remove the skillet from heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together the basil pesto and Greek yogurt until smooth.
Drain the pasta, reserving two tablespoons of pasta water, then add the pasta and pesto mixture to the skillet.
Toss everything together until the pasta is coated in a creamy sauce, adding the reserved water if needed for consistency.
