INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 tbsp Pesto
1/4 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and cook the chicken until it is golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the pesto with nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy pesto sauce.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, sliced chicken, and creamy pesto sauce. Toss well to ensure even coating.
Garnish with freshly chopped basil and parsley. Adjust salt and pepper to taste before serving.
