Creamy Pesto Chicken Linguine
Pan-seared chicken breast tossed with whole wheat linguine in a velvety, vibrant basil pesto sauce made creamy with a touch of Greek yogurt.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz whole wheat linguine
1.5 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp nonfat Greek yogurt
1 cup baby spinach
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
1 tsp olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 clove garlic
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat linguine until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden and cooked through.
Remove the chicken to a plate to rest, then in the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic and halved cherry tomatoes until softened.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and stir for 1 minute until just wilted.
In a small bowl, whisk together the basil pesto and nonfat Greek yogurt until smooth and well combined.
Slice the rested chicken and toss it into the skillet along with the cooked linguine and the creamy pesto sauce, stirring until everything is evenly coated.
