Creamy Pesto Chicken with Zucchini Noodles
Savor the bright flavors of basil pesto mixed with a creamy Greek twist, perfectly coating tender, juicy chicken and fresh zucchini noodles. This dish offers a satisfying blend of protein and vibrant vegetables, making it an ideal light yet fulfilling meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 medium Zucchini
1/2 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
1 tbsp Pine Nuts
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
PREPARATION
Prepare the zucchini noodles by spiralizing the medium zucchini and set aside.
In a food processor, combine the fresh basil, pine nuts, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. Blend until smooth.
Stir in the Greek yogurt into the pesto to create a creamy sauce.
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper. Grill or sear the chicken until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes per side depending on thickness. Once cooked, let it rest and then slice into strips.
In a large pan over medium heat, lightly sauté the zucchini noodles for 1-2 minutes until tender but still crisp.
Toss the warm zucchini noodles with the creamy pesto sauce until evenly coated.
Plate the noodles and top with the sliced chicken breast. Serve immediately and enjoy the harmonious blend of flavors.
