Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Pan-seared chicken breast tossed with al dente pasta in a velvety pesto sauce, punctuated by the vibrant sweetness of sun-dried tomatoes.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1 oz brown rice pasta
1 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup fresh baby spinach
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 clove garlic
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the brown rice pasta according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Add the chicken to the skillet and sauté for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, adding the minced garlic in the last minute of cooking.
Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and fresh baby spinach, cooking for 1-2 minutes until the spinach is just wilted.
In a small bowl, whisk together the basil pesto and plain Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce base.
Drain the pasta, reserving a small amount of pasta water, and add the pasta to the skillet with the chicken and vegetables.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the creamy pesto mixture, adding a touch of pasta water if needed to reach a smooth consistency.
