Veggie Loaded Chicken Pasta
Notes
Prep sauce and chicken before your week begins and store in the fridge or freezer. When ready to eat, boil pasta and serve with sauce and chicken.
Ingredients
- 3 cups grape tomatoes
- 2 cups baby bella/cremini mushrooms (sliced)
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves of garlic (minced)
- salt
- pepper
- 8oz boneless, skinless chicken breast (cubed into bite sized pieces)
- 1 1/2 cups bean/lentil based pasta (dry)
- 1/4 cup shaved parmesan (optional)
- 1/4 cup plain greek yogurt (optional)
Instructions
- Cook tomatoes, mushrooms, and garlic in olive oil over medium heat until tomatoes are soft.
- As tomatoes are cooking, add a few hefty dashes of salt to a pot of water, and bring to a boil.
- Once tomatoes are soft, mush with a spoon or the bottom of a cup to create a “sauce.”
- Add in chicken and cook until chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink on the inside.
- While chicken is cooking, add pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package directions, likely around 7 minutes.
- Drain pasta and mix into pan with chicken and sauce. Option to stir in parmesan and/or greek yogurt for a creamy and cheesey flavor.
