Butternut Squash Pasta with Seared Chicken
Pan-seared chicken breast served over whole wheat pasta tossed in a velvety butternut squash sauce infused with aromatic sage.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz whole wheat penne
0.5 cup butternut squash puree
2 tbsp full-fat coconut milk
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp fresh sage
PREPARATION
Boil a pot of salted water and cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions until al dente.
Season the chicken breast with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
In the same skillet over low heat, whisk together the butternut squash puree, coconut milk, nutritional yeast, and chopped fresh sage.
Stir the sauce until it is warm and creamy, adding a tablespoon of pasta water if needed to reach your desired consistency.
Toss the cooked pasta into the sauce until thoroughly coated, then top with the sliced seared chicken and serve immediately.
