Creamy Pesto Chicken and Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta
Sautéed chicken breast and chickpea pasta tossed in a velvety pesto yogurt sauce with tangy sun-dried tomatoes and wilted spinach.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken breast
1.5 oz Chickpea penne pasta
1 tbsp Basil pesto
2 tbsp Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp Sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup Fresh baby spinach
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Olive oil
1 clove Garlic
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 the pasta cooks, cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with 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, approximately 5-6 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet, sautéing for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
Lower the heat to low and stir in the baby spinach until it just begins to wilt from the residual heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together the basil pesto, Greek yogurt, and the reserved pasta water until a smooth, creamy sauce forms.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and pour the pesto mixture over the top, tossing gently to coat all ingredients in the velvety sauce.
