Chicken Penne with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
Pan-seared chicken breast tossed with whole wheat penne in a velvety roasted red pepper sauce that delivers a smoky sweetness in every bite.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Boneless skinless chicken breast
2 oz Dry whole wheat penne pasta
0.5 cup Roasted red peppers
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves Garlic
0.25 cup Yellow onion
1 tbsp Non-fat Greek yogurt
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Dried oregano
1 tbsp Fresh basil
PREPARATION
Boil a pot of salted water and cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 2 tablespoons of pasta water before draining.
Season the chicken breast with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the chicken in olive oil until golden and cooked through, then remove and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until they are fragrant and translucent.
Transfer the sautéed onion, garlic, and roasted red peppers to a high-speed blender. Add the Greek yogurt and blend until the sauce is completely smooth and creamy.
Pour the sauce back into the skillet, stir in the reserved pasta water, and simmer over low heat for 2 minutes.
Add the cooked penne and sliced chicken to the skillet, tossing gently until every piece is well coated in the red pepper sauce.
Garnish with chopped fresh basil and serve immediately.
