Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Fresh Herbs
Enjoy a vibrant and satisfying meal featuring tender, juicy chicken breast tossed with whole wheat pasta in a luscious, homemade creamy pesto sauce. Fresh cherry tomatoes and fragrant basil bring a burst of flavor and color, creating a balanced dish that's both comforting and energizing.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 tablespoon Homemade Pesto Sauce
1 tablespoon Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 serving (approx. 60g) Cherry Tomatoes
Fresh Basil sprigs (for garnish)
PREPARATION
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and lightly season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
Cook the chicken breast until fully cooked and lightly browned, about 6-7 minutes per side. Once cooked, slice into bite-size pieces.
Meanwhile, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the homemade pesto sauce with nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy pesto dressing.
Combine the cooked pasta and sliced chicken in a large serving bowl. Add the pesto-yogurt mixture and gently toss until evenly coated.
Mix in halved cherry tomatoes for a burst of freshness.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately.
