Creamy Tomato Chicken Pasta with Basil
Sautéed chicken breast and chickpea pasta tossed in a velvety tomato cream sauce, finished with aromatic fresh basil for a bright, herbaceous bite.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz chickpea penne pasta
0.25 cup tomato puree
2 tbsp plain non-fat Greek yogurt
0.5 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp dried oregano
5 leaves fresh basil
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea penne according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and mince the garlic.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the chicken, garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Sauté the chicken for 5-7 minutes until cooked through and lightly golden.
Lower the heat and stir in the tomato puree, simmering for 2 minutes to meld the flavors.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the Greek yogurt and nutritional yeast until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Drain the pasta, reserving a splash of pasta water, and toss the noodles into the skillet with the sauce.
Thin the sauce with a little pasta water if needed, then garnish with torn fresh basil leaves before serving.
