Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Fresh Herbs
Enjoy a vibrant dish of tender chicken paired with whole wheat pasta tossed in a creamy, basil-infused pesto sauce. Fresh herbs add a burst of flavor to this balanced, appetizing meal that's as nutritious as it is satisfying.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 tablespoon Basil Pesto
2 tablespoons Plain Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil
PREPARATION
Cook whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.
Sauté the chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and lightly golden. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
In a small bowl, mix the basil pesto with plain Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce.
Combine the sliced chicken, cooked pasta, and creamy pesto sauce in the skillet. Toss gently to ensure even coating.
Finish by stirring in the fresh basil. Adjust seasonings if necessary and serve warm.
