Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Fresh Basil
Savor a luscious bowl of tender grilled chicken tossed with whole wheat pasta and a silky, creamy pesto sauce enriched with Greek yogurt. Fresh basil leaves lend an aromatic finish, making each bite a harmonious blend of savory and herbaceous flavors.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tablespoons Creamy Pesto Sauce with Greek Yogurt
5 fresh Basil leaves
PREPARATION
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and lightly season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
Grill the chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes per side until cooked through. Once done, let it rest for a few minutes and then slice into strips.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix your homemade pesto (blended basil, garlic, a drizzle of olive oil) with nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce.
Combine the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto sauce in a large mixing bowl. Gently toss until the pasta is evenly coated.
Plate the pasta, top with the grilled chicken slices, and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
