Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Fresh Herbs
Savor tender, seasoned chicken breast tossed with whole wheat pasta and a velvety, Greek yogurt-based pesto sauce, finished with a burst of fresh basil and cherry tomatoes for a satisfying and light meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Fresh Basil
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 serving (50g) Cherry Tomatoes
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil and add the chicken. Cook until golden and internally cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Once done, slice the chicken into strips.
In a food processor or blender, combine the Greek yogurt, fresh basil, garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper to create a creamy pesto sauce. Blend until smooth.
Toss the cooked pasta with the pesto sauce until evenly coated.
Plate the pasta, top with sliced chicken, and garnish with halved cherry tomatoes and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant, protein-packed meal.
