Baked Chicken and Penne with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
Tender chicken and whole wheat penne tossed in a creamy roasted red pepper sauce, baked until the golden cheese topping is perfectly bubbly.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz whole wheat penne pasta
0.5 cup roasted red peppers
0.25 cup tomato puree
1 tsp olive oil
1 clove garlic
1 cup fresh baby spinach
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp dried oregano
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
Cook the whole wheat penne according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and sauté in olive oil over medium heat until golden and cooked through.
In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted red peppers, tomato puree, garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano, blending until the sauce is smooth.
In a small oven-safe baking dish, combine the cooked pasta, sautéed chicken, fresh spinach, and the blended red pepper sauce, tossing until everything is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the top of the pasta mixture.
Bake for 15 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese has formed a light crust.
