Enjoy a vibrant and satisfying dish featuring tender chicken breast paired with fresh, spiralized zucchini noodles, all brought together by a luscious creamy pesto sauce. The flavors of basil, garlic, and pine nuts meld with a touch of Greek yogurt for creaminess, creating a light yet fulfilling meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 medium Zucchini (spiralized)
Homemade Pesto Sauce (blend: 0.5 cup basil, 1 clove garlic, 1 tbsp pine nuts, 1 tsp olive oil; mix with 2 tbsp Greek yogurt)
Optional: extra basil for garnish
PREPARATION
Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Season the 6 oz chicken breast with salt and pepper to taste. Sauté the chicken in a non-stick skillet until cooked through and golden on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side, then slice it into strips.
Using a spiralizer, turn one medium zucchini into noodles. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to create thin ribbons.
To create the creamy pesto sauce, combine fresh basil leaves, 1 clove of garlic, 1 tablespoon pine nuts, and 1 teaspoon olive oil in a food processor. Blend until smooth, then stir in 2 tablespoons of plain nonfat Greek yogurt for added creaminess.
Toss the zucchini noodles with the creamy pesto sauce until evenly coated.
Plate the zucchini noodles, then top with sliced chicken breast. Garnish with extra basil if desired, and serve immediately.
