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 vibrant baby spinach.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken breast
1.5 oz Chickpea pasta
1 tbsp Basil pesto
2 tbsp Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
2 tbsp Sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup Baby spinach
1 tsp Olive oil
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Minced garlic
PREPARATION
Boil the chickpea pasta in salted water until al dente, reserving two tablespoons of the 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 heat and sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, then set aside to rest.
In the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes for one minute until fragrant.
Whisk together the basil pesto and Greek yogurt in a small bowl until smooth to create the creamy sauce base.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook until just wilted, then return the sliced chicken and cooked pasta to the pan.
Pour in the creamy pesto sauce and reserved pasta water, tossing everything together over low heat until the sauce coats the pasta beautifully.
