Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Fresh Herbs
Enjoy a vibrant fusion of tender chicken breast and whole wheat pasta tossed in a creamy, herbaceous pesto sauce accented with a touch of Greek yogurt and fresh cherry tomatoes. This dish brings together the nutty, aromatic flavours of basil pesto with the light creaminess of Greek yogurt, finished with a burst of fresh herbs for a meal that's both satisfying and refreshing.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
2 Tbsp Homemade Basil Pesto
2 Tbsp Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved
2 Tbsp Fresh Mixed Herbs
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest before slicing.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the homemade basil pesto and Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce. Adjust with a little water if needed to reach desired consistency.
Toss the warm pasta with the creamy pesto sauce until evenly coated.
Mix in the halved cherry tomatoes and freshly chopped mixed herbs to add brightness and freshness.
Slice the rested chicken breast and lay on top of the pasta. Garnish with additional herbs if desired, and serve immediately.
