Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Sautéed chicken breast tossed with chickpea pasta in a velvety pesto-yogurt sauce, accented by the chewy sweetness of sun-dried tomatoes.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz chicken breast
1.25 oz chickpea pasta
2 tbsp non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp basil pesto
1 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup baby spinach
1 clove garlic
1 tsp olive oil
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.
While the pasta cooks, dice 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. Add the chicken and sauté for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Mince the garlic and chop the sun-dried tomatoes. Add them to the skillet with the chicken and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Lower the heat to medium-low. Add the baby spinach to the skillet and stir until just wilted.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and basil pesto until smooth.
Drain the pasta, reserving 2 tablespoons of the pasta water.
Add the cooked pasta and the pesto-yogurt mixture to the skillet, tossing everything together. Add the reserved pasta water if needed to reach a creamy consistency. Serve immediately.
