Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta
Sautéed chicken breast and chickpea pasta tossed in a velvety basil pesto sauce with juicy burst tomatoes and fresh baby spinach.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz chickpea pasta
1 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp non-fat Greek yogurt
1 cup baby spinach
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
0.5 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 clove garlic
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken and minced garlic, sautéing until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes and baby spinach to the skillet, stirring for 1-2 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften and the spinach wilts.
In a small bowl, whisk together the basil pesto and Greek yogurt until smooth to create the creamy sauce base.
Drain the pasta, reserving a splash of pasta water, and add the pasta to the skillet with the chicken and vegetables.
Remove the skillet from the heat, stir in the creamy pesto sauce, and toss everything together until well-coated, adding a teaspoon of pasta water if needed to reach your desired consistency.
