Creamy Tomato Basil Pasta
Sautéed chicken breast and whole wheat pasta tossed in a velvety tomato basil sauce enriched with protein-packed Greek yogurt.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz whole wheat penne pasta
0.5 cup tomato puree
2 tbsp non-fat Greek yogurt
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
0.5 cup fresh baby spinach
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp dried oregano
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced chicken breast to the skillet, seasoning with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, then add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour the tomato puree into the skillet and simmer on low heat for 3 minutes.
Stir in the fresh baby spinach and cook until just wilted.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the non-fat Greek yogurt and fresh basil leaves until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing well to coat every noodle in the velvety sauce before serving.
