Creamy Tomato Basil Pasta
Pan-seared chicken breast tossed with chickpea pasta in a velvety tomato-basil sauce that feels incredibly indulgent yet light.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1 oz chickpea pasta
0.5 cup tomato puree
2 tbsp plain non-fat Greek yogurt
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 cup fresh baby spinach
0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp dried oregano
PREPARATION
Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente.
While pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the skillet, let it rest for 2 minutes, then slice it into thin strips.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, then pour in the tomato puree.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the Greek yogurt until the sauce is creamy and pink, then add the fresh baby spinach and stir until wilted.
Toss the cooked pasta and sliced chicken into the sauce, garnishing with hand-torn fresh basil leaves before serving.
