Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite sized pieces
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
- Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
- 1/3 cup sun dried tomatoes drained and excess oil blotted off with paper towels
- 8 ounces whole wheat or gluten-free pasta (I used bowties)
- 3 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons arrowroot powder dissolved in 2 teaspoons of water (see note)
- 2 cups packed baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil
- 1/2 cup shredded part skim mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1/3 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium high heat add the olive oil and chicken. Season with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink.
- Add in the garlic and sun dried tomatoes and cook another 1-2 minutes.
- Add in the chicken broth and pasta and stir until combined. Bring to a simmer then lower the heat to medium-low, cover with a lid and cook for 10-15 minutes or until the pasta is tender.
- Add in the dissolved arrowroot/water slurry and stir until the liquid starts to thicken, about 1-2 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and add the mozzarella, parmesan cheese, spinach and stir until the spinach starts to wilt.
- Stir in the Greek yogurt until everything is combined. Taste for seasoning then serve immediately.
Notes
- If you don’t have arrowroot powder cornstarch may also be used.
- Flour may be used as well if gluten-free is not an issue. If you use flour use 1 tablespoon and sprinkle it in and stir to combine in step #2. Then add in the chicken broth and stir until it’s dissolved and add in the pasta. Continue from there with the remaining directions.
