Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Sautéed chicken breast and sun-dried tomatoes tossed in a velvety pesto cream sauce over chickpea pasta for a vibrant, nutrient-dense meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz dry chickpea pasta
1 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup baby spinach
0.5 tsp olive oil
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a medium 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 with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sauté until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the baby spinach and cook just until wilted, then reduce the heat to low.
In a small bowl, whisk together the basil pesto and Greek yogurt until smooth.
Drain the pasta, reserving 2 tablespoons of pasta water. Add the pasta and the pesto mixture to the skillet.
Toss everything together gently, adding the reserved pasta water if needed to reach a creamy consistency, and serve immediately.
