Creamy Tomato Basil Pasta with Zesty Lemon
Sautéed chicken breast and chickpea pasta tossed in a velvety tomato-basil sauce brightened with a zesty lemon finish for a vibrant and satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
2 oz chickpea pasta
0.5 cup tomato puree
0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic
0.25 cup fresh basil
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.5 tsp lemon zest
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente.
While pasta cooks, dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with a pinch of sea salt.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Pour in the tomato puree and simmer over medium-low heat for 3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the skillet from the heat and whisk in the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and lemon zest until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet along with the fresh chopped basil, tossing everything together until well coated.
Season with the remaining sea salt and black pepper before serving immediately.
