Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Fresh Basil
Savor this vibrant dish featuring tender chicken breast tossed with whole wheat pasta and enveloped in a creamy, homemade pesto sauce enriched with a touch of nonfat Greek yogurt. Fresh basil elevates the flavor with its bright, herbal notes, making every bite a delightful balance of savory and fresh.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
1 tbsp Homemade Pesto Sauce
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
2 tbsp Fresh Basil (garnish)
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 skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked and golden.
While the chicken cooks, in a small bowl, combine the homemade pesto sauce with nonfat Greek yogurt, stirring until smooth to create a creamy sauce.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips and toss with the warm pasta.
Drizzle the creamy pesto sauce over the chicken and pasta, stirring gently to evenly coat.
Garnish with freshly chopped basil and serve immediately.
