Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Sautéed chicken breast and whole wheat pasta tossed in a velvety pesto sauce with tangy sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz chicken breast
1 oz whole wheat penne 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
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 clove garlic
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions until al dente.
While pasta cooks, dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add the minced garlic, and sauté the chicken until golden brown and cooked through.
Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and baby spinach, cooking for 1-2 minutes until the spinach is just wilted.
In a small bowl, whisk together the basil pesto and Greek yogurt to create a creamy, clean-eating sauce base.
Drain the pasta, reserving a splash of pasta water, then toss the pasta and pesto mixture into the skillet with the chicken and vegetables until well coated.
