Enjoy a delightful meal featuring tender chicken breast paired with whole wheat pasta enveloped in a creamy, basil-infused pesto sauce. This dish offers a satisfying blend of hearty protein and vibrant, fresh flavors making it perfect for any lunch or dinner.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Basil Pesto
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and lightly season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
Sauté the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove and let it rest before slicing.
In the same pan, add the minced garlic and lightly sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, taking care not to burn it.
Lower the heat and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt and basil pesto to create a creamy sauce. Mix well to combine with the garlic.
Add the cooked whole wheat pasta to the skillet and toss to evenly coat with the sauce.
Slice the rested chicken and gently fold it into the pasta mixture.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
