Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Pan-seared chicken breast tossed with chickpea pasta in a velvety pesto sauce, punctuated by the tangy sweetness of sun-dried tomatoes.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz chickpea pasta
1 tbsp basil pesto
1 tbsp non-fat Greek yogurt
2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup baby spinach
0.5 tsp olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 clove garlic
PREPARATION
Boil a pot of salted water and cook chickpea pasta according to package directions, reserving 2 tablespoons of pasta water before draining.
Season the chicken breast evenly with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side.
Remove the chicken from the skillet to rest for 3 minutes before slicing into bite-sized strips.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and sauté the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes for 1 minute until fragrant.
Whisk in the basil pesto, Greek yogurt, and reserved pasta water to create a creamy, smooth sauce.
Add the fresh baby spinach to the pan and stir until just wilted.
Toss the cooked pasta and sliced chicken into the sauce, stirring well to coat every piece before serving warm.
