High-Protein Pasta with Chicken and Vegetables
Pan-seared chicken breast tossed with protein-packed chickpea pasta and vibrant sautéed vegetables in a light, savory garlic-herb sauce.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Boneless skinless chicken breast
2 oz Chickpea rotini pasta
0.5 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 cup Sliced zucchini
0.5 cup Chopped red bell pepper
1 cup Fresh baby spinach
2 cloves Garlic
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.5 tsp Dried oregano
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente, reserving 0.25 cup of pasta water before draining.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breast with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano, then sear in the skillet for 5 to 7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the skillet, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice into thin strips.
In the same skillet, add the zucchini and bell pepper, sautéing for 4 to 5 minutes until tender-crisp.
Add the minced garlic to the vegetables and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Toss the cooked pasta, sliced chicken, and baby spinach into the skillet with the vegetables.
Pour in the reserved pasta water and stir constantly until the spinach is wilted and the sauce lightly coats the pasta.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve family-style.
