Creamy Lemon Herb Chicken Pasta with Zesty Greens
Pan-seared chicken breast tossed with chickpea pasta in a velvety lemon-yogurt sauce, brightened by fresh herbs and vibrant wilted spinach.
INGREDIENTS
3.25 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz chickpea pasta
2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 cup baby spinach
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.5 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp fresh parsley
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente, reserving two tablespoons of the cooking water before draining.
Season the chicken breast evenly with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5 to 6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 3 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium-low and sauté the minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and toss for 1 minute until just wilted.
Whisk the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, and reserved pasta water together in a small bowl until smooth.
Add the cooked pasta and the yogurt mixture to the skillet, tossing gently over low heat until the pasta is coated in a creamy sauce.
Stir in the sliced chicken and fresh parsley, then serve immediately while warm.
