Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Tender chicken breast sautéed with garlic and tossed in a velvety pesto-yogurt sauce with vibrant sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach over chickpea pasta.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz chickpea pasta
1 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup fresh baby spinach
1 tsp olive oil
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente, reserving two tablespoons of pasta water before draining.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken breast seasoned with sea salt and black pepper.
Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, then add the minced garlic and julienned sun-dried tomatoes, sautéing for another minute.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the fresh baby spinach, allowing it to wilt gently into the chicken mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the basil pesto and Greek yogurt with the reserved pasta water to create a smooth, creamy sauce.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and pour the pesto sauce over the top, tossing everything together until evenly coated and warmed through.
