Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta
Sautéed chicken breast and whole wheat penne tossed in a vibrant, velvety basil pesto sauce finished with fresh baby spinach.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz Chicken breast
1.5 oz Whole wheat penne pasta
1 tbsp Basil pesto
2 tbsp Plain Greek yogurt
1 cup Baby spinach
1 tsp 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 whole wheat penne according to package directions until al dente.
Reserve 2 tablespoons of pasta water before draining the noodles.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the chicken until golden brown and cooked through.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
In a small bowl, whisk together the basil pesto and plain Greek yogurt until smooth.
Lower the skillet heat and add the cooked pasta, baby spinach, and the pesto-yogurt mixture.
Toss everything together gently, adding the reserved pasta water as needed to create a creamy coating until the spinach is just wilted.
