A vibrant dish featuring succulent pan-seared chicken breast paired with whole wheat pasta enveloped in a creamy pesto sauce brightened by fresh spinach. This recipe is designed to be both nutritious and satisfying, combining lean protein, wholesome grains, and aromatic basil pesto for a well-rounded meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tablespoons Pesto Sauce
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and sear for about 5-6 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and let rest before slicing.
While the chicken cooks, prepare whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the pesto sauce with the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy, tangy sauce.
Combine the warm pasta with the spinach in a large mixing bowl so the heat slightly wilts the greens.
Pour the creamy pesto mixture over the pasta and spinach, stirring gently to combine evenly.
Slice the rested chicken breast and serve atop the creamy pasta. Enjoy your balanced and flavorful meal.
