Enjoy a vibrant plate featuring succulent pan-seared chicken breast topped with a silky, creamy zucchini pesto. This dish perfectly balances savory, fresh flavors with a hint of lemon zest for brightness, making it a delightful meal any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1 medium Zucchini
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup Fresh Basil
1 clove Garlic
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Sear the chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the pan and let rest.
Meanwhile, slice the zucchini into chunks. In a blender or food processor, combine zucchini, fresh basil, garlic, Greek yogurt, Parmesan, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth to form a creamy pesto. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper.
Slice the rested chicken and serve topped with a generous drizzle of the creamy zucchini pesto.
Garnish with a few extra basil leaves if desired and enjoy warm.
