PREPARATION

  • 1

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole grain pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  • 2

    While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and cook the chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden on the outside. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.

    In a food processor or blender, combine the fresh basil, parsley, garlic, pine nuts, Greek yogurt, and a pinch of salt. Blend until a smooth pesto forms. If needed, you can add a teaspoon of water to adjust the consistency.

  • 4

    Slice the chicken breast into strips or bite-sized pieces. In a large mixing bowl, toss the cooked pasta with the chicken pieces and gently fold in the creamy pesto sauce until evenly coated.
