Chipotle-Lime Chicken Pasta Salad
Seared chicken breast tossed with whole wheat pasta and crisp vegetables in a zesty, smoky chipotle-lime yogurt dressing that offers a satisfyingly bold kick.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.75 cup cooked whole wheat penne pasta
0.25 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
1 tbsp lime juice
0.5 cup red bell pepper
0.25 cup frozen corn
2 tbsp red onion
1 tbsp fresh cilantro
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp olive oil
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions; drain and set aside to cool.
Season the chicken breast with half of the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through, then dice into bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together the non-fat Greek yogurt, finely minced chipotle peppers in adobo, lime juice, and the remaining salt and pepper until smooth.
Finely dice the red bell pepper and red onion, and thaw the frozen corn by rinsing under warm water.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, diced chicken, bell pepper, corn, and red onion.
Pour the chipotle-lime dressing over the salad and toss thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving chilled or at room temperature.
