High-Protein Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta
Savor the delightful fusion of tender chicken breast, whole wheat pasta, and a creamy pesto sauce enriched with low‐fat Greek yogurt. This dish strikes a perfect balance with a rich, herbaceous flavor, a velvety texture, and a satisfying protein boost while remaining calorie-conscious.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
2 tbsp Pesto Sauce
4 fresh Basil leaves
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Season the chicken breast with salt and black pepper. Sear the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side until fully cooked.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
In a small bowl, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt with the pesto sauce to create a creamy pesto mixture.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips. In a large bowl, toss the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto mixture until evenly coated.
Gently fold in the sliced chicken, and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed before serving.
