Creamy Lemon-Herb Chicken Pasta Salad
Sautéed chicken breast and chickpea pasta are tossed with crisp vegetables in a silky lemon-yogurt dressing for a bright and zesty finish.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz boneless skinless chicken breast
1.5 oz dry chickpea rotini pasta
0.25 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
0.5 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
0.5 cup cucumber
2 tbsp red onion
1 cup fresh baby spinach
1 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea rotini pasta until al dente, then drain and set aside to cool slightly.
Season the chicken breast with a portion of the sea salt and black pepper, then sauté in a skillet with olive oil over medium heat until golden and cooked through.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and dried oregano until the dressing is smooth and silky.
Dice the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and add them to the bowl along with the cooked pasta, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, red onion, and chopped spinach.
Toss the salad thoroughly to coat all ingredients in the creamy dressing, then garnish with fresh parsley and the remaining salt and pepper before serving.
