Savor a delightful twist on classic pesto pasta with tender, seared chicken breast enveloped in a creamy, basil-infused sauce. Paired with fresh, spiralized zucchini, this dish offers a crunchy bite that perfectly complements the rich, herbaceous flavor, making it a nutritious and satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast (~170g)
2 cups Zucchini Noodles (~200g)
2 tbsp Pesto Sauce (~30g)
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt (~30g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (~4.5g)
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 tsp Garlic Powder (~3g)
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked and lightly browned.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest while you prepare the sauce.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the pesto sauce along with the nonfat Greek yogurt. Stir to combine, creating a creamy sauce.
Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss them gently in the sauce, cooking for 2-3 minutes until just heated and slightly tender.
Slice the chicken breast and serve it over a bed of zucchini noodles. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the top and enjoy your healthy, flavorful meal.
