INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 tablespoon Basil Pesto
2 tablespoons Nonfat Greek Yogurt
0.5 cup Cherry Tomatoes
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil Leaves
PREPARATION
Cook whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Allow it to rest, then slice into strips or bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, basil pesto, and nonfat Greek yogurt. Toss to coat evenly.
Gently fold in the sliced chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, and fresh basil leaves.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve immediately, enjoying the creamy, fresh, and savory flavors.
