Chicken with Creamy Pesto Pasta and Blistered Tomatoes
Savor a vibrant plate featuring tender grilled chicken breast tossed with whole wheat pasta coated in a light, creamy pesto sauce. Blistered cherry tomatoes add a burst of sweetness and tang, making this dish a balanced, satisfying meal perfect for any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
0.75 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 tbsp Pesto Sauce
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
0.5 cup halved Cherry Tomatoes
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove from heat and let rest.
While the chicken cooks, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a separate pan, add a splash of olive oil and the minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook on high heat until the tomatoes blister, about 3-4 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine the pesto sauce with the Greek yogurt to create a creamy pesto sauce.
Slice the cooked chicken breast and toss it with the pasta. Drizzle the creamy pesto sauce over the chicken and pasta, then fold in the blistered tomatoes gently.
Serve immediately while warm, enjoying the blend of flavors and textures.
