Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Fresh Herbs
Savor a creamy twist on a classic pasta dish featuring tender chicken breast blended with a delicate mixture of basil pesto and light Greek yogurt, tossed with wholesome whole wheat pasta and finished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs for a burst of color and flavor.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1.5 tbsp Basil Pesto
2 tbsp Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
2 tbsp Fresh Basil (chopped)
1 clove Garlic, minced
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet, add a splash of water or a minimal amount of oil and cook the chicken over medium heat until fully cooked and golden on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side.
While the chicken is cooking, boil water and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the basil pesto with non-fat Greek yogurt and minced garlic. Mix until you achieve a smooth, creamy sauce.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips or bite-sized pieces.
Toss the hot pasta with the creamy pesto sauce, then gently fold in the chicken pieces.
Garnish with freshly chopped basil and adjust seasoning with a bit more salt and pepper if needed before serving.
