Creamy Pesto Chicken with Zucchini Noodles
Savor tender chicken breast tossed with zucchini noodles and a luxurious, light creamy pesto sauce accented by fresh cherry tomatoes and garlic, all elevated with a drizzle of olive oil for a balanced meal bursting with flavor.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 medium Zucchini (spiralized into noodles)
2 ounces Light Cream Cheese
1 tablespoon Basil Pesto
1/4 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a nonstick skillet, heat a little olive oil and cook the chicken over medium heat until it's fully cooked and golden on both sides, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and let it rest.
Using a spiralizer, turn the zucchini into noodles. Set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Stir in the basil pesto and light cream cheese, allowing them to meld into a creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water or low-sodium chicken broth to reach your desired consistency.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and let them warm through for about 1-2 minutes.
Slice the cooked chicken breast and toss it into the skillet with the sauce, mixing gently to coat all the pieces. Add the zucchini noodles and stir until everything is well combined and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
Drizzle with the remaining teaspoon of olive oil, season with additional salt and pepper if needed, and serve immediately.
