INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
2 tablespoons Basil Pesto
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil Leaves
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear over medium heat until cooked through and juices run clear, about 5-6 minutes per side. Once cooked, slice into strips.
In a small bowl, mix the basil pesto with nonfat Greek yogurt until well combined, creating a creamy sauce.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, sliced chicken, and halved cherry tomatoes. Pour the creamy pesto sauce over the mixture and toss gently to coat evenly.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately.
