Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Pan-seared chicken breast tossed with chickpea pasta in a velvety pesto-yogurt sauce, brightened by tangy sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz chickpea pasta
0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
0.5 tbsp basil pesto
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 2 tablespoons of pasta water before draining.
While pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through, then set aside to rest before slicing.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and sauté the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes for 1 minute until fragrant.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, basil pesto, and the reserved pasta water to create a smooth sauce.
Add the cooked pasta and baby spinach to the skillet, then pour the pesto-yogurt sauce over the top.
Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the pasta is thoroughly coated.
Slice the chicken and place it over the pasta to serve.
