INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
2 tablespoons Basil Pesto
1/4 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Fresh Mixed Herbs
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta until al dente, then drain.
While the pasta is cooking, pat dry the chicken breast and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Slice into strips once rested.
In a mixing bowl, combine the basil pesto and Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce.
Add the cooked pasta to the bowl with the sauce, stirring to coat evenly.
Fold in the sliced chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, and freshly chopped basil and parsley.
Adjust seasoning as needed and serve warm.
