INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1.5 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1.5 tbsp Pesto Sauce
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
Fresh Basil for garnish
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted 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 with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and cook the chicken until fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes per side. Allow the chicken to rest and then slice into strips.
In a mixing bowl, combine the pesto sauce with the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce.
Toss the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto sauce until evenly coated.
Plate the pasta and arrange the sliced chicken on top. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately.
