INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast

0.25 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Basil Pesto
0.5 cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved
1 cup Baby Spinach
2 tbsp Fresh Basil, chopped
1 clove Garlic

PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the chicken breast and cook until golden and fully cooked through, approximately 5-6 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and let rest, then slice thinly.
In the same skillet, add the cooked whole wheat pasta along with baby spinach. Toss until the spinach wilts slightly.
Mix in the nonfat Greek yogurt and basil pesto until the pasta is evenly coated in a creamy sauce.
Add cherry tomatoes and sliced chicken to the pasta. Gently toss to combine all ingredients.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste and garnish with fresh chopped basil before serving.
