INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup fresh Basil Leaves
1 tbsp Pine Nuts
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp grated Parmesan Cheese
2 tbsp Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Mixed Dried Herbs
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Season the 4 oz chicken breast generously with the mixed dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Place on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through. Once done, let it cool slightly and slice into bite-sized pieces.
While the chicken roasts, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
In a food processor or blender, combine the fresh basil leaves, pine nuts, olive oil, grated Parmesan, low-fat Greek yogurt, and garlic. Blend until smooth to create a creamy pesto sauce.
Toss the cooked pasta with the prepared pesto until evenly coated.
Gently mix in the sliced herb-roasted chicken with the pesto pasta.
Serve immediately, enjoying the fresh flavors and creamy texture of the dish.
