Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Sautéed chicken and whole wheat penne tossed in a velvety pesto yogurt sauce with tangy sun-dried tomatoes and wilted spinach.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz whole wheat penne
5 oz chicken breast
1 tsp olive oil
1 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup fresh spinach
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the penne according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 2 tablespoons of pasta water before draining.
While the pasta cooks, dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sauté until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 6-8 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach, cooking until the spinach is just wilted.
In a small bowl, whisk together the basil pesto and Greek yogurt until the mixture is smooth and combined.
Add the cooked pasta and the pesto-yogurt mixture to the skillet with the chicken and vegetables.
Toss everything together thoroughly, adding the reserved pasta water a splash at a time to reach a creamy consistency, then serve immediately.
