Savor the delightful balance of a light, creamy pesto sauce beautifully tossed with tender chicken, whole wheat pasta, and a burst of fresh basil and spinach. This dish offers a comforting yet bright flavor profile, perfect for any meal of the day while keeping your macros in check.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tbsp Light Pesto Sauce
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 cup Fresh Spinach
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, and sear on both sides until lightly browned, then cook through (about 5-6 minutes per side). Once cooked, slice into strips.
In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Mix in the light pesto sauce and nonfat Greek yogurt, stirring to create a smooth, creamy sauce.
Add the cooked pasta, fresh spinach, and sliced chicken to the skillet. Toss gently until the spinach wilts and everything is evenly coated in the sauce.
Finish by stirring in fresh basil and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve warm and enjoy a delightful blend of creamy pesto and fresh herbs.
