Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Fresh Basil
Savor the delightful fusion of tender chicken breast and whole wheat pasta enveloped in a creamy, basil-infused pesto sauce. This dish brings together the rich herbal notes of fresh basil and garlic, balanced by a light touch of Greek yogurt, for a comforting yet vibrant meal perfect for any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 tbsp Pesto Sauce
2 tbsp Plain Greek Yogurt
5 Fresh Basil Leaves
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the 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 over medium heat, cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked through and golden.
While the chicken is resting, combine the pesto sauce with the Greek yogurt in a small bowl to create a lighter, creamier dressing.
Slice the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and toss with the pasta in a large bowl.
Drizzle the creamy pesto mixture over the pasta and chicken, stirring gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately.
