Savor the delightful blend of tender chicken breast, hearty whole wheat pasta, and a creamy, vibrant pesto sauce. Fresh cherry tomatoes and aromatic basil complete this well-balanced dish, perfect for lunch or dinner, offering a burst of herby flavor in each bite.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 tbsp Pesto Sauce
2 tbsp Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes (halved)
1/4 cup Fresh Basil (chopped)
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and cook the chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until thoroughly cooked and golden on the outside. Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.
In a small bowl, mix together the pesto sauce with non-fat Greek yogurt to create a creamy pesto blend.
Combine the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto mixture. Toss in halved cherry tomatoes and freshly chopped basil.
Top the pasta with sliced chicken breast and garnish with a few extra basil leaves. Serve warm and enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors.
