Enjoy a satisfying bowl of creamy chicken pesto pasta that combines tender grilled chicken, hearty whole wheat pasta, and a velvety sauce made with Greek yogurt and vibrant basil pesto. Topped with fresh spinach and juicy cherry tomatoes, this dish is perfectly balanced for a nourishing meal any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 Tbsp Basil Pesto
1 cup Spinach
1 serving (approx. 5 cherry tomatoes)
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 over medium heat until fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F), about 6-7 minutes per side, then let rest and slice into strips.
In a small bowl, mix the nonfat Greek yogurt with basil pesto to create a creamy sauce.
In a large bowl, combine the pasta with the creamy yogurt-pesto sauce, stirring until evenly coated.
Gently fold in fresh spinach and halved cherry tomatoes.
Top the pasta with sliced grilled chicken, and serve immediately.
