Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Fresh Basil
Savor this vibrant dish featuring succulent chicken breast tossed with whole wheat pasta and a velvety, light creamy pesto sauce. Fresh basil and garlic infuse the meal with aromatic notes, making each bite both satisfying and refreshingly fragrant.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup Fresh Basil
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked and nicely browned. Remove from the skillet and let it rest before slicing.
In the meantime, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a food processor or blender, combine the fresh basil, garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth, then stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a light creamy pesto sauce.
Slice the chicken breast into strips. Toss the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto sauce until evenly coated. Top with the sliced chicken and garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful, balanced meal.
