Creamy Pesto Chicken and Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta
Pan-seared chicken breast tossed with al dente brown rice pasta in a velvety pesto cream sauce, accented by the chewy sweetness of sun-dried tomatoes.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1 oz brown rice pasta
1 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
1 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 pot of salted water to a boil and cook the brown rice pasta according to package directions until al dente.
While pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side.
Remove chicken from the pan, let it rest for 2 minutes, then slice into bite-sized strips.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the baby spinach until just wilted, then reduce heat to low.
In a small bowl, whisk together the basil pesto and Greek yogurt with 1 tablespoon of pasta cooking water to create a creamy sauce.
Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken back to the skillet, pour the pesto mixture over the top, and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
