Creamy Pesto Chicken and Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta
Pan-seared chicken breast tossed with chickpea pasta in a velvety pesto sauce, punctuated by the vibrant tang of sun-dried tomatoes.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz chickpea pasta
1 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup fresh 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 chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces 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 sear until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Mince the garlic and add it to the skillet along with the sun-dried tomatoes, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the fresh baby spinach to the pan and toss gently until it just begins to wilt.
In a small bowl, whisk together the basil pesto and plain Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce base.
Drain the pasta, reserving 2 tablespoons of the cooking water. Add the pasta and the reserved water to the skillet.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the creamy pesto mixture until everything is thoroughly coated and glossy.
