Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Sautéed chicken breast tossed with whole grain pasta in a velvety pesto-yogurt sauce, punctuated by the vibrant tang of sun-dried tomatoes.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz Chicken breast
1 oz Whole wheat penne
1 tbsp Basil pesto
2 tbsp Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp Sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup Baby spinach
0.5 tbsp Olive oil
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Boil a pot of salted water and cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 2 tablespoons of pasta water before draining.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and slice into thin strips.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and stir until just wilted.
In a small bowl, whisk together the basil pesto and Greek yogurt until a smooth, creamy sauce forms.
Add the cooked pasta, sliced chicken, and the pesto-yogurt mixture to the skillet.
Toss everything together until well-coated, adding the reserved pasta water a teaspoon at a time to reach your desired creamy consistency. Serve immediately.
