Chicken is a classic choice for pesto pasta and adds a lean protein element But shrimp or grilled tofu would be amazing too for a lighter option! No matter what you pick, the pesto and protein will be delicious together. Enjoy!

For sure, grilled chicken is a solid choice—it's simple and soaks up the pesto flavor perfectly, but if you want to switch things up, shrimp or even a bit of crispy pancetta can really take it to the next level.

Chicken breast works wonders with pesto pasta, providing a lean protein source that pairs perfectly with the herby flavors.
