INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 tbsp Basil Pesto
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 cup Baby Spinach
1 tbsp Fresh Basil
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and finely chopped fresh basil. Drizzle with olive oil and minced garlic.
Place the chicken on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 18-20 minutes or until cooked through.
While the chicken roasts, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a splash of pasta water.
In a mixing bowl, combine the basil pesto with nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce. If needed, thin out with a little reserved pasta water.
Add the cooked pasta to the bowl with the creamy pesto sauce and toss well to coat evenly.
Slice the roasted chicken into strips and gently mix in with the pasta along with cherry tomatoes and baby spinach.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste, and serve warm.
