INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 tbsp Pesto Sauce
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
5 g Fresh Basil
5 g Fresh Parsley
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a light spray of olive oil (if desired) to prevent sticking.
Cook the chicken breast for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink inside. Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a cutting board and slice it into strips.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the pesto sauce with the nonfat Greek yogurt until smooth. Crush the garlic clove finely and add to the mixture along with chopped fresh basil and parsley.
Combine the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto mixture in a large bowl, tossing gently to ensure even coating.
Add the sliced chicken on top of the pasta and garnish with a few extra fresh herbs. Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
