INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
0.75 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
0.25 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
2 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic (minced)
Salt and Pepper to taste
0.5 tsp Dried Basil
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove and let rest before slicing into strips.
Prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Lower the heat and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt and dried basil, creating a light, creamy sauce. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and mix until the sauce is smooth.
Toss the cooked pasta in the skillet with the sauce. Add the sliced chicken, gently mixing until everything is well combined and heated through.
Adjust seasonings with additional salt and pepper if needed, then serve immediately.
