INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (140g)
1/3 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta (60g)
1/4 cup Greek Yogurt (61g)
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (4.5g)
1 tsp Pine Nuts (2g)
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese (5g)
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear over medium-high heat until fully cooked and reach an internal temperature of 165°F, then slice into strips.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a food processor or blender, combine fresh basil, pine nuts, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, and Parmesan cheese to create a pesto. If you prefer a creamier texture, add the Greek yogurt and pulse until smooth.
In a large bowl, toss together the cooked pasta, the creamy pesto sauce, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Top the pasta with the grilled chicken slices and garnish with additional basil and parsley for a burst of freshness before serving.
