INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup chopped Fresh Basil
1 clove Garlic
1 medium Roasted Tomato
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
Sear the chicken breast in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly browned.
Transfer the chicken to the oven and roast for about 10-12 minutes or until fully cooked.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
For the pesto sauce, blend together chopped basil, garlic, olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Mix in the nonfat Greek yogurt to achieve a creamy consistency.
Slice the roasted tomato into wedges.
Combine the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto sauce, then gently toss in the roasted tomato pieces.
Slice the cooked chicken and serve on top of the pasta, garnishing with any extra basil if desired.
