Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Fresh Herbs
A delightful twist on a classic pasta dish, featuring tender sautéed chicken breast tossed with whole wheat pasta and a velvety, tangy pesto-yogurt sauce. Fresh cherry tomatoes and basil add brightness and a burst of flavor, making it a well-balanced and satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 tbsp Basil Pesto
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Cherry Tomatoes (halved)
2 tbsp Fresh Basil (chopped)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
Cook the chicken breast in the skillet until golden and cooked through (approximately 4-5 minutes per side). Remove from the skillet and let it rest before slicing into strips.
Meanwhile, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the basil pesto and nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce.
Toss the cooked pasta with the pesto-yogurt sauce, then gently fold in the sliced chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped fresh basil.
Plate the dish and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired. Enjoy your creamy, herb-infused meal!
