Pan-Seared Chicken with Creamy Pesto and Whole Wheat Pasta
Savor the delightful combination of juicy pan-seared chicken breast paired with al dente whole wheat pasta tossed in a light, creamy pesto sauce. The dish brings together the herbal notes of basil with the creaminess of nonfat Greek yogurt, accented with a drizzle of olive oil, creating a well-balanced meal that's both satisfying and nutritionally on point.
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/2 tablespoon Basil Pesto
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a small drizzle of olive oil.
Sear the chicken breast for about 4-5 minutes per side until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and has a golden crust.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
In a small bowl, mix together the nonfat Greek yogurt and basil pesto to create a creamy pesto sauce.
Combine the cooked pasta with the yogurt-pesto mixture ensuring an even coating.
Slice the pan-seared chicken and serve over the creamy pesto pasta. Drizzle a little extra olive oil if desired and garnish with fresh basil.
