High-Protein Spinach Pesto Pasta
Pan-seared chicken breast tossed with chickpea pasta in a vibrant, velvety spinach-garlic pesto that coats every bite with fresh, earthy flavor.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
1.75 oz chickpea pasta
2 cup fresh spinach
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp water
PREPARATION
Boil a pot of salted water and cook chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente.
While pasta cooks, season chicken breast with salt and pepper, then pan-sear in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until cooked through.
In a food processor, combine spinach, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, nutritional yeast, and water; pulse until a smooth, velvety pesto forms.
Slice the cooked chicken into bite-sized strips.
Drain the pasta, reserving a splash of pasta water, then return it to the pot.
Toss the pasta and chicken with the spinach pesto, adding reserved water if needed to reach your desired consistency, and serve immediately while warm.
