INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast

2 tbsp Basil Pesto
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
2 tbsp Fresh Basil & Parsley
1 tsp Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Prepare the pasta according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, then grill or sauté over medium heat until thoroughly cooked (internal temperature of 165°F), about 5-7 minutes per side. Once cooked, slice into strips.
In a small bowl, combine the basil pesto with nonfat Greek yogurt and lemon juice to create a creamy sauce.
Toss the warm pasta with the creamy pesto sauce, then fold in the sliced chicken.
Garnish with freshly chopped basil and parsley before serving to add a burst of bright herbal flavor.
