INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (Dry)
1 tablespoon Pesto
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
Fresh Basil (a small bunch)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Seasonings: Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Cook whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked. Once done, slice the chicken into bite-sized strips.
In the same skillet over low heat, add the pesto and nonfat Greek yogurt, stirring gently to create a creamy sauce.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss until evenly coated with the creamy pesto mixture.
Fold in the sliced chicken and sprinkle with fresh basil. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately while warm, enjoying a balanced medley of creamy texture and fresh herbal notes.
