Creamy Pesto Chicken and Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta
Pan-seared chicken breast tossed with al dente pasta in a velvety pesto sauce infused with tangy sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken breast
1 oz Whole wheat penne
1 tbsp Basil pesto
0.25 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
2 tbsp Sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup Baby spinach
1 clove Garlic
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Olive oil
PREPARATION
Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions until al dente.
While pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked, then remove from pan and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
In a small bowl, whisk together the basil pesto and Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce base.
Add the cooked pasta, sliced chicken, 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 sauce is warmed through, adding a splash of pasta water if needed to reach your desired consistency.
