Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Pan-seared chicken and whole wheat penne are tossed in a velvety pesto-yogurt sauce with tangy sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken breast
1.5 oz Whole wheat penne
1 tsp Olive oil
1 tbsp Basil pesto
2 tbsp Nonfat plain Greek yogurt
2 tbsp Sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup Fresh baby spinach
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 whole wheat penne according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, cut 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 cook for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Add the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the basil pesto and nonfat plain Greek yogurt until a smooth, creamy sauce forms.
Add the fresh baby spinach to the skillet and toss until it begins to wilt into the sauce.
Drain the pasta, reserving 1 tablespoon of pasta water. Add the pasta and reserved water to the skillet, tossing everything together until well-coated and heated through.
