INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tablespoons Light Pesto Sauce
1 tablespoon Fresh Basil
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and lightly browned. Once cooked, slice into strips.
In the meantime, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl or food processor, blend fresh basil, minced garlic, nonfat Greek yogurt, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a small drizzle of olive oil to create a light pesto sauce.
Toss the cooked pasta with the pesto sauce until evenly coated.
Plate the pasta, top with the sliced chicken strips, and garnish with an extra sprinkle of fresh basil.
Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful, balanced dish.
