INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 tbsp Pesto
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Basil, chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Season chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and cook the chicken until fully cooked and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes per side. Once cooked, slice into strips.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine pesto and nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the warm pasta with the creamy pesto mixture until evenly coated. Gently fold in the sliced chicken.
Finish the dish by sprinkling fresh basil over the top and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
