Pan-Seared Chicken with Creamy Pesto Whole Wheat Pasta
A vibrant, well-balanced dish featuring juicy pan-seared chicken paired with whole wheat pasta tossed in a light, creamy pesto sauce enhanced by a touch of tangy Greek yogurt. Fresh cherry tomatoes and baby spinach add a burst of color and flavor to this satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 tablespoon Basil Pesto
1/4 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1/2 cup Baby Spinach
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side until fully cooked and lightly browned.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
In a small bowl, combine basil pesto with plain nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy pesto sauce.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto sauce. Gently fold in halved cherry tomatoes and baby spinach, allowing the residual heat to slightly wilt the greens.
Slice the pan-seared chicken and serve over the pesto pasta. Enjoy your balanced and flavorful meal.
