INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tablespoon Basil Pesto
Fresh Basil leaves for garnish
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear over medium heat until fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes per side, then slice into strips.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, drain, and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the nonfat Greek yogurt and 1 tablespoon of basil pesto, creating a creamy, low-calorie sauce.
Combine the cooked pasta with the sliced chicken. Drizzle the creamy pesto sauce over the mixture and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately.
