Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Sautéed chicken breast and whole wheat penne tossed in a velvety pesto cream sauce with tangy sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
2 oz whole wheat penne
1 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp 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 clove garlic
PREPARATION
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, slice the chicken breast into bite-sized strips and season evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and minced garlic, sautéing until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
Lower the heat to medium and stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and baby spinach, cooking for 1-2 minutes until the spinach is just wilted.
In a small bowl, whisk together the basil pesto and plain Greek yogurt until smooth to create the cream sauce.
Drain the pasta, reserving 2 tablespoons of pasta water, and add both to the skillet with the chicken and vegetables.
Pour the pesto yogurt sauce over the mixture and toss everything together until the pasta is thoroughly coated and creamy.
