CHICKEN PESTO PASTA SALAD

Chicken Pesto Pasta Salad image

Super easy pasta salad- wonderful for any thing from a brunch to a summer dinner. Everyone likes it- even my picky 3 year old! My husbands co-worker brought this to share for an event and he begged for the recipe. The only particular is that the pasta salad will taste best if you use the pesto in a plastic container in the refrigerated section. The serving size stated is the pasta salad as main dish- in a pot luck or as a side it serves a lot more.

PESTO CHICKEN SALAD (PASTA SALAD STYLE WITH NO PASTA)

Pesto Chicken Salad (Pasta Salad Style With No Pasta) image

This is a super healthy salad, chicken, veggies and a yummy pesto dressing. It reminds me of pasta salad because of the dressing but I make it without pasta. You could definitely add it, I'd just increase the dressing slightly if you do. It came from a combination of different recipes. I love substituting greek yogurt for things like mayo, which was part of my idea here. All frozen veggies could be replaced with canned... sometimes I use asparagus instead of grean beans. Also, if you prefer less of a tangy dressing you can add a little splenda/stevia/sweetener of your preference and/or decrease the lemon.

Time 15m

Yield 1 large salad, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 lb cooked boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
1 1/2 tablespoons basil pesto
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 green onion, thinly sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
1 cup frozen green beans, thawed
1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
1 1/2 cups artichoke hearts, drained and quartered (approx 1 16oz can)
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/8 teaspoon ground pepper (optional)

Steps:

Cut pre-cooked chicken into 1" cubes and set aside.
Prepare vegetables: Thinly slice green onion. Drain and quarter artichoke hearts. Chop cherry tomatos in half. Thaw peas and green beans, I recommend cutting the green beans into approx 1" lengths. Drain all the veggies as well as possible. Squeeze the extra moisture out with a paper towel if you like.
In a large bowl, mix together greek yogurt, pesto, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Mix in all of the vetgetables and chicken. Toss to coat.
You can eat immediately but I think it tastes better after sitting in the fridge overnight. It's good on its own or served over lettuce or broccoli shreds.
