INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tbsp Pesto Sauce
1/4 cup Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup halved Cherry Tomatoes
1 tbsp chopped Fresh Basil
PREPARATION
Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
Sauté the chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked and lightly golden. Remove and let it rest briefly, then slice into strips.
Meanwhile, if not already prepared, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente, then drain.
In a small bowl, combine the pesto sauce with the Greek yogurt to create a creamier sauce.
Toss the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto mixture until evenly coated.
Gently fold in the sliced chicken and halved cherry tomatoes, ensuring the ingredients are well distributed.
Garnish with freshly chopped basil and serve immediately.
