Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta
Sautéed chicken breast tossed with protein-rich chickpea pasta in a velvety pesto sauce that coats every bite with vibrant herbal notes.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz Chicken breast
1.5 oz Chickpea pasta
1.5 tbsp Basil pesto
2 tbsp Plain Greek yogurt
1 cup Baby spinach
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tbsp Grated parmesan cheese
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, season the diced chicken breast evenly with the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until just wilted.
In a small bowl, whisk together the basil pesto and Greek yogurt until a smooth, creamy consistency is reached.
Drain the pasta, reserving two tablespoons of the cooking water, then add the pasta to the skillet with the chicken.
Reduce the heat to low, stir in the pesto-yogurt mixture, and add the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce as needed.
Serve the pasta immediately topped with a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese.
