Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Fresh Herbs
Savor a delightful blend of tender chicken and whole wheat pasta enveloped in a creamy pesto sauce accentuated by fresh herbs and vibrant veggies. This dish combines a light yet satisfying flavor profile with a vibrant finish of basil and spinach, perfect for any meal of the day.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 tablespoon Basil Pesto
1 tablespoon Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 cup Spinach
1 serving Cherry Tomatoes
2 tablespoons Fresh Mixed Herbs
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Sauté the chicken in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until fully cooked and lightly browned, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove from heat and slice it into strips or bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, mix the basil pesto with non-fat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, sautéed chicken, fresh spinach, and halved cherry tomatoes.
Drizzle the creamy pesto sauce over the mixture and toss gently to coat evenly.
Finish by sprinkling fresh mixed herbs over the dish. Serve warm and enjoy your vibrant, nutritional meal.
