Creamy Pesto Chicken Linguine
Sautéed chicken breast and whole grain linguine are tossed in a vibrant, velvety pesto sauce enriched with Greek yogurt and bursting with juicy cherry tomatoes.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
1.25 oz whole wheat linguine
1 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp non-fat Greek yogurt
1 cup baby spinach
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat linguine according to package directions until al dente.
Reserve 2 tablespoons of the pasta cooking water, then drain the noodles and set them aside.
Season the chicken breast pieces evenly with the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the chicken until golden brown and cooked through.
Add the minced garlic and halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet, cooking for 2 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the baby spinach until it just begins to wilt.
Whisk together the basil pesto and Greek yogurt with the reserved pasta water, then pour the mixture into the skillet and toss with the linguine until coated.
