Creamy Pesto Chicken Linguine
Pan-seared chicken and al dente linguine are tossed in a velvety pesto sauce with burst cherry tomatoes for a bright and satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz dry linguine
4.5 oz chicken breast
1 tsp olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
1 cup baby spinach
1 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp non-fat Greek yogurt
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine until al dente, reserving two tablespoons of pasta water before draining.
Season the chicken breast pieces evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes until they begin to soften and blister.
Stir in the baby spinach and cook just until wilted, then remove the skillet from the heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together the basil pesto, Greek yogurt, and reserved pasta water until smooth.
Toss the cooked linguine and the creamy pesto sauce into the skillet with the chicken and vegetables until everything is thoroughly coated.
