Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta
Enjoy a flavorful twist on classic pasta with tender chicken breast, al dente whole-wheat pasta, and a light, creamy homemade pesto sauce perfectly balanced with a dollop of nonfat Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and tang. This dish delivers a satisfying meal that’s both delicious and nutritionally balanced.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole-Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 tbsp Homemade Pesto Sauce
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to boil and cook the whole-wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken until golden and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes per side depending on thickness. Once cooked, slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, mix the homemade pesto sauce with nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy, lighter sauce.
In a large bowl, combine the hot pasta with the creamy pesto sauce and sliced chicken. Toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced and delicious Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta.
