INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1 tbsp Basil Pesto
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
2 tbsp Fresh Mixed Herbs (Basil & Parsley)
2 tbsp Cherry Tomatoes
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through and nicely browned. Once cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
In a small bowl, combine basil pesto and nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce.
Toss the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto sauce until evenly coated.
Plate the pasta and top with sliced chicken, fresh mixed herbs, and halved cherry tomatoes for a burst of freshness.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
