A vibrant and satisfying dish featuring spiralized zucchini tossed in a creamy, fresh basil pesto sauce with a protein boost from perfectly grilled chicken breast. The dish is brightened by lemon, enriched with Greek yogurt, and accented with pine nuts, creating a balanced, flavorful meal that is both light and filling.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
2 medium Zucchini
1 cup Fresh Basil
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Pine Nuts
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat and season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let it rest before slicing.
While the chicken is grilling, spiralize the zucchini into noodles and set aside in a large mixing bowl.
In a blender or food processor, combine the fresh basil, nonfat Greek yogurt, pine nuts, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. Blend until smooth to form a creamy pesto sauce.
Pour the pesto sauce over the zucchini noodles and toss gently until the noodles are evenly coated.
Slice the grilled chicken breast into strips and layer on top of the zucchini noodles, or toss it in if preferred.
Serve immediately, garnished with a few extra basil leaves or a sprinkle of pine nuts if desired.
