Creamy Pesto Chicken with Zucchini Noodles
Savor a delicious twist on a classic dinner with succulent chicken breasts tossed in a light, creamy pesto sauce served atop refreshing zucchini noodles. The dish marries tender, flavorful chicken with the vibrant taste of basil and a hint of tangy Greek yogurt, finished with a sprinkle of pine nuts and Parmesan for that extra burst of umami.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 medium Zucchini
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Pine Nuts
2 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
PREPARATION
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Sauté the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden on the outside. Remove from pan and keep warm.
Using a spiralizer or vegetable peeler, create zucchini noodles from the zucchinis.
In the same skillet (or a clean one), add the zucchini noodles and lightly sauté them for 2-3 minutes until just tender but still crisp.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt with a generous handful of fresh basil (optional, added by personal preference), salt, and pepper. This will be your creamy pesto base.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips or bite-sized pieces and toss them with the zucchini noodles.
Drizzle the creamy yogurt pesto over the chicken and zucchini, stirring gently to coat evenly.
Finish by sprinkling the pine nuts and grated Parmesan cheese on top before serving.
