Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Sautéed chicken and whole wheat penne tossed in a velvety basil pesto sauce with tangy sun-dried tomatoes and wilted spinach.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz whole wheat penne pasta
1 tbsp basil pesto
1 tbsp non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup fresh baby spinach
0.5 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 clove garlic
PREPARATION
Bring a large 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 diced chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the chicken until golden brown and cooked through.
Add the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet, stirring for 1 minute until fragrant.
Reduce heat to low and add the fresh baby spinach, stirring until just wilted.
In a small bowl, whisk together the basil pesto and non-fat Greek yogurt with 1 tablespoon of the pasta cooking water to create a creamy sauce.
Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet, then pour the pesto mixture over the top and toss everything together until well coated.
