Creamy Pesto Chicken Linguine
Sautéed chicken breast tossed with al dente linguine and ribbons of zucchini in a velvety, vibrant basil pesto sauce.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1 oz dry linguine
1 cup spiralized zucchini
1 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the chicken until golden brown and cooked through.
Add the spiralized zucchini noodles to the skillet with the chicken for the last 2 minutes of cooking to soften slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the basil pesto and Greek yogurt until smooth to create the creamy sauce base.
Drain the pasta, reserving 2 tablespoons of the cooking water, then add the pasta and reserved water to the skillet.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the pesto-yogurt mixture until the noodles and chicken are evenly coated.
Garnish with grated parmesan cheese and serve immediately while hot.
