Creamy Pesto Chicken and Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta
Sautéed chicken breast and whole grain 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 non-fat 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
Cook the whole wheat penne in a pot of boiling salted water until al dente, reserving a small amount of pasta water before draining.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the cubed chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper, then sauté in the skillet until golden and cooked through.
Add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet, stirring for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
Toss in the baby spinach and cook until just wilted, then reduce the heat to low.
Stir in the basil pesto and non-fat Greek yogurt until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Add the cooked pasta and a splash of reserved pasta water to the skillet, tossing well to coat everything in the velvety sauce.
