INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
2 tablespoons Pesto
1/4 cup Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil, chopped
2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley, chopped
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, then add the chicken breast.
Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Once cooked, slice it into bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, combine the pesto with the non-fat Greek yogurt to create a creamy, light sauce.
Toss the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto sauce, ensuring the pasta is evenly coated.
Fold in the chicken slices and sprinkle the fresh basil and parsley over the top.
Mix gently and serve immediately, enjoying the blend of fresh herbs, tender chicken, and the nutty, vibrant pesto.
