Instructions
In a bowl, combine chicken breast with your favorite spices, minced garlic, and olive oil. Allow the chicken to marinate for a few minutes.
Place the marinated chicken in the air fryer basket and cook at 180°C for 12 minutes. Carefully flip the chicken and cook for an additional 8 minutes until both sides are golden brown and cooked through.
Meanwhile, peel and chop the avocado into bite-sized pieces. In a blender, combine the avocado, fresh basil, minced garlic, nutritional yeast, vegetable oil, lemon juice, and water. Blend until smooth and creamy.
In a serving bowl, toss the cooked pasta with the avocado sauce until well coated.
Serve the marinated chicken alongside the avocado pasta, garnished with cherry tomatoes and fresh basil leaves.
Storage Tips
This Creamy Avocado Chicken Pasta with Fresh Basil and Cherry Tomatoes can be stored as a complete meal in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Transfer the entire dish into an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent any flavors from mixing with other items in the fridge.
When storing, make sure to allow the dish to cool completely before refrigerating to avoid condensation and potential bacterial growth. Additionally, consider portioning the meal into individual servings if you plan to enjoy it over multiple days.
Before reheating, let the dish sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to take the chill off. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop until heated through, stirring occasionally to ensure even warming. Add extra garnishes, such as fresh basil leaves and cherry tomatoes, just before serving to enhance presentation and flavor.
Avoid freezing the prepared dish as the avocado sauce may change in texture and become watery upon thawing, resulting in a less appetizing meal. Enjoy the leftovers within the recommended storage time for the best taste and quality.
