Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Pan-seared chicken breast and chickpea pasta tossed in a velvety pesto sauce with tangy sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz chickpea pasta
1 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp non-fat Greek yogurt
2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup baby spinach
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast evenly with the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the pan to rest for a few minutes, then add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes to the same skillet, sautéing for one minute.
Lower the heat to low and stir in the basil pesto and Greek yogurt until a smooth, velvety sauce forms.
Slice the rested chicken into strips and add it back to the skillet along with the cooked pasta and baby spinach, tossing gently until the greens are wilted.
