INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Basil Pesto
2 tbsp Fresh Mixed Herbs
Seasonings to taste (Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder)
PREPARATION
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Grill the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked and juices run clear. Once cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
Meanwhile, if not already prepared, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the nonfat Greek yogurt and basil pesto. Stir well to create a creamy pesto sauce.
Toss the hot pasta with the creamy pesto sauce to allow the flavors to meld.
Plate the tossed pasta and top with sliced grilled chicken. Sprinkle with freshly chopped mixed herbs for added freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, balanced meal.
