Creamy Pesto Chicken Linguine
Chicken breast sautéed until golden and tossed with whole wheat linguine in a velvety pesto sauce made with Greek yogurt and vibrant spinach.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz whole wheat linguine
1 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp non-fat Greek yogurt
1 cup fresh spinach
0.5 tbsp 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.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast pieces evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the chicken and minced garlic, sautéing until the chicken is cooked through and golden.
In a small bowl, whisk together the basil pesto and non-fat Greek yogurt until a smooth, creamy sauce forms.
Drain the pasta, reserving two tablespoons of pasta water, and add the pasta, pesto mixture, and fresh spinach to the skillet with the chicken.
Toss everything together over low heat until the spinach is just wilted and the sauce coats the linguine perfectly.
