Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Sautéed chicken breast and whole wheat pasta tossed in a velvety pesto yogurt sauce with tangy sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken breast
1 oz Whole wheat penne pasta
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Basil pesto
0.25 cup Nonfat Greek yogurt
2 tbsp Sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup Baby spinach
1 clove Garlic
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the chicken and minced garlic, sautéing until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and basil pesto until smooth and creamy.
Lower the skillet heat to low and add the cooked pasta, sun-dried tomatoes, and baby spinach, tossing until the spinach begins to wilt.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the creamy pesto mixture, adding a splash of pasta water if needed to reach your desired consistency.
