Creamy Pesto Chicken with Zucchini Noodles
Savor tender, perfectly seasoned chicken breast tossed with fresh, spiralized zucchini and enveloped in a silky, homemade creamy pesto sauce. This vibrant dish balances lean protein with the crisp brightness of zucchini, finishing with a luxurious, herbaceous finish that delights both the palate and the senses.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 medium Zucchini
1 tbsp Basil Pesto
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Start by seasoning the 4 oz chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and lightly golden. Once done, rest the chicken for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
While the chicken is cooking, spiralize the zucchini into noodles. If you don’t have a spiralizer, use a vegetable peeler to create long, thin ribbons.
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of basil pesto with 2 tablespoons of nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce.
In another pan, lightly warm the zucchini noodles over medium heat for about 2 minutes until just tender, being careful not to overcook them to retain their crispness.
Toss the warm zucchini noodles with the creamy pesto sauce, then top with sliced chicken.
Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy this nutritious, flavorful dish.
