Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Pan-seared chicken and chickpea pasta tossed in a velvety pesto sauce with tangy sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach for a clean, satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz chickpea pasta
1 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp non-fat Greek yogurt
2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup baby spinach
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente.
Season the chicken breast evenly with the sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the skillet, let it rest for 3 minutes, then slice it into thin strips.
Reduce the skillet heat to low and add the basil pesto, non-fat Greek yogurt, and sun-dried tomatoes, stirring until a smooth sauce forms.
Fold in the baby spinach and cook for 1 minute until just wilted.
Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken to the skillet, tossing everything together until thoroughly coated in the creamy sauce.
