Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta
Tender chicken breast sautéed with chickpea pasta in a velvety basil pesto sauce, tossed with vibrant spinach and juicy burst tomatoes.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz chickpea pasta
1 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp non-fat Greek yogurt
1 cup baby spinach
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions, reserving two tablespoons of pasta water before draining.
While the pasta cooks, heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the cubed chicken breast to the skillet and season with sea salt and black pepper, sautéing until golden brown and cooked through.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for two minutes until they begin to soften and blister.
Reduce the skillet heat to low, then stir in the basil pesto, non-fat Greek yogurt, and reserved pasta water to create a smooth, creamy sauce.
Add the fresh baby spinach to the pan and toss gently until the leaves are just wilted.
Fold in the cooked pasta until every noodle is evenly coated in the pesto sauce and serve immediately.
