1/2 cup loosely packed Fresh Parsley
1/2 cup halved Cherry Tomatoes
1 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Olive Oil

PREPARATION
Begin by cooking the chicken breast: Season lightly with salt and pepper, then sauté in a non-stick skillet over medium heat with 1 teaspoon olive oil until fully cooked and golden on both sides. Let it rest, then slice into strips.
Prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
For the creamy pesto sauce, blend together the fresh basil, fresh parsley, garlic, lemon juice, and light Greek yogurt in a food processor until smooth. If needed, add a splash of water to achieve a smoother consistency.
Combine the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto sauce in a large bowl. Gently toss to ensure an even coating.
Add the sliced chicken breast and halved cherry tomatoes to the pasta. Give a light toss to mix all ingredients.
Plate the dish and garnish with additional fresh basil or parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your Healthy Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta.
