Savor tender, pan-seared chicken breast paired with vibrant zucchini noodles and a luscious, low-calorie creamy pesto sauce. This dish delivers a delightful balance of savory, herbaceous flavors with a light finish, making it an ideal choice for a nutritious meal that fuels your day.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 medium Zucchini (spiralized into noodles)
1 serving Creamy Pesto Sauce (approx. 1/4 cup)
1 tsp Olive Oil for drizzling
PREPARATION
Season the 6 oz chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken. Sear the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and nicely browned. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.
While the chicken is resting, prepare the zucchini noodles by spiralizing one medium zucchini. Lightly sauté the zucchini noodles in the same skillet for 1-2 minutes just to warm them without losing their crunch.
In a small bowl, mix together your creamy pesto sauce ingredients (nonfat Greek yogurt, fresh basil, garlic, a splash of olive oil, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and a squeeze of lemon juice) or use your pre-prepped sauce.
Plate the warmed zucchini noodles, slice the chicken breast into strips, and arrange on top.
Drizzle the creamy pesto sauce evenly over the chicken and noodles, and finish with an extra drizzle of 1 tsp olive oil for added richness.
