Creamy Pesto Chicken Linguine
Tender chicken breast sautéed with vibrant cherry tomatoes and folded into a velvety pesto sauce over al dente linguine.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz whole wheat linguine
5 oz chicken breast
1.5 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1 cup baby spinach
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
1 clove garlic
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, slice the chicken breast into thin, bite-sized strips and season evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken strips until golden brown and cooked through.
Add the minced garlic and halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet, sautéing for about 2 minutes until the tomatoes just begin to soften and blister.
In a small bowl, whisk together the basil pesto and Greek yogurt until smooth to create a clean, protein-rich creamy sauce base.
Lower the skillet heat to medium-low, add the cooked linguine and baby spinach, then toss with the pesto yogurt mixture until the spinach is wilted and the pasta is thoroughly coated.
