INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
0.75 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
0.5 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
1 Garlic Clove
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
2 tbsp Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
2 tbsp Fresh Mixed Herbs
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear over medium heat until fully cooked and juices run clear, about 5-6 minutes per side. Let it rest and then slice into strips.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a food processor or blender, combine fresh basil leaves, garlic, olive oil, and grated Parmesan cheese. Blend until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the Greek yogurt to create a creamy pesto sauce.
Toss the warm pasta with the creamy pesto sauce until evenly coated. Gently mix in the sliced chicken.
Finish with a sprinkle of fresh mixed herbs for added brightness and serve immediately.
