Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Fresh Herbs
Enjoy a delightful medley of tender chicken breast and whole-wheat pasta enveloped in a silky, homemade pesto sauce. The bright flavors of fresh basil, garlic, and a touch of Greek yogurt come together with a hint of olive oil for creaminess, all topped with vibrant fresh herbs for an appetizing finish.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole-Wheat Pasta
1/2 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
1 Garlic Clove
1 tbsp Pine Nuts
1/4 cup Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Mixed Herbs
PREPARATION
Start by bringing a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole-wheat pasta until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden brown. Once done, slice the chicken into bite-size pieces.
In a food processor or blender, combine the fresh basil leaves, garlic clove, pine nuts, low-fat Greek yogurt, and olive oil. Blend until smooth, creating a creamy pesto sauce.
Mix the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto sauce in a large bowl until well coated.
Gently fold in the sliced chicken and sprinkle freshly chopped mixed herbs over the top for a burst of extra freshness.
Serve warm and enjoy this balanced, flavorful meal.
