Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Fresh Herbs
Savor a vibrant dish featuring tender chicken breast tossed with whole wheat pasta in a light, creamy pesto sauce made even fresher with a medley of bright herbs. This dish balances zingy basil notes with the creaminess of Greek yogurt, delivering an elegantly simple yet satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Fresh Basil Pesto
2 tbsp Mixed Fresh Herbs (Basil & Parsley)
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to boil, add a pinch of salt, and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, add a non-stick spray or minimal oil and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked and lightly golden.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips or bite-sized pieces.
In a bowl, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt and fresh basil pesto to create a creamy sauce. Adjust the consistency with a splash of pasta water if needed.
Toss the cooked pasta and chicken with the creamy pesto sauce. Stir in the mixed fresh herbs for a burst of flavor.
Plate the dish and enjoy warm, accented with extra herbs or a squeeze of lemon if desired.
