Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Fresh Herbs
A vibrant, creamy twist on a classic pasta dish featuring tender chicken breast, whole wheat pasta, and a luscious homemade basil pesto blended with non-fat Greek yogurt for extra creaminess. Fresh herbs elevate the flavors making it a satisfying meal for any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 tablespoon Homemade Basil Pesto
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil (chopped)
PREPARATION
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper.
Cook the chicken breast for about 5-7 minutes per side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Once cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the non-fat Greek yogurt with the homemade basil pesto to create a creamy sauce.
Combine the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto sauce in a large bowl, gently tossing to ensure even coating.
Slice the rested chicken breast into strips and add to the pasta. Mix in the chopped fresh basil for an added herbaceous boost.
Serve immediately and enjoy your well-balanced, protein-rich creamy pesto chicken pasta.
