INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1 medium Zucchini
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tablespoon Basil Pesto
1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Begin by spiralizing the zucchini to create fresh noodles and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the minced garlic, cooking until fragrant.
Place the seasoned chicken in the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove chicken from the skillet.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to low. Stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt and basil pesto to create a creamy sauce, mixing well to combine with the garlic and any remaining juices.
Slice the chicken into strips and return it to the pan, coating it evenly with the sauce.
Toss the zucchini noodles into the skillet just to warm them slightly without overcooking, ensuring they retain their crunch.
Plate the zucchini noodles and top with the creamy pesto chicken. Sprinkle grated Parmesan on top as a finishing touch before serving.
