Chicken Thigh Pasta with Light Tomato Sauce
Sautéed chicken thighs simmered in a vibrant, light tomato sauce and tossed with chickpea pasta for a protein-packed meal that is wonderfully savory.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz boneless skinless chicken thighs
1.5 oz chickpea penne pasta
0.5 cup tomato puree
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
0.25 cup yellow onion
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 cup fresh baby spinach
1 tbsp fresh basil
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Dice the boneless skinless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through.
Add the finely chopped yellow onion and minced garlic to the skillet, sautéing until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
Pour in the tomato puree and add the dried oregano, stirring to combine and simmering the sauce for five minutes to develop the flavors.
Stir in the fresh baby spinach and cook for one minute until just wilted into the sauce.
Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet with the chicken and sauce, then garnish with freshly torn basil before serving.
