2 tbsp Pesto
2 tbsp Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt

PREPARATION
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Grill for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Allow the chicken to rest before slicing.
Prepare whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the pesto with Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce.
Toss the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto sauce until evenly coated.
Slice the grilled chicken and gently fold into the pasta along with the halved cherry tomatoes.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately.
