Ranch Chicken Pasta Salad with Crispy Chicken
Golden pan-seared chicken breast tossed with al dente pasta and crisp vegetables in a creamy, herb-flecked Greek yogurt ranch dressing.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken breast
0.5 tsp Garlic powder
0.5 tsp Onion powder
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tbsp Olive oil
0.75 cup Cooked whole grain rotini pasta
0.25 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp Fresh dill
1 tbsp Fresh chives
1 tsp Lemon juice
0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
0.25 cup Red onion
1 cup Baby spinach
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel and cut into bite-sized cubes.
In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper; toss the chicken cubes in the spice blend until evenly coated.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until the exterior is golden-brown and crispy.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the ranch dressing by whisking together the Greek yogurt, chopped fresh dill, minced chives, and lemon juice in a large mixing bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and finely dice the red onion.
Add the cooked pasta, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and baby spinach to the bowl with the ranch dressing and toss to combine.
Fold in the crispy chicken cubes and serve immediately while the chicken is still warm.
