INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
0.75 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
0.25 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Pesto Sauce
1 clove Garlic
0.25 cup Fresh Basil
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet, lightly sear the chicken over medium-high heat until golden browned on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side, then finish cooking through. Once cooked, let it rest before slicing into strips.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the nonfat Greek yogurt with the pesto sauce. Mince the garlic and stir it into the creamy pesto mixture to infuse the flavor.
Toss the warm pasta with the creamy pesto sauce ensuring even coating. Gently fold in the sliced chicken breast.
Plate the dish and garnish with freshly chopped basil. Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant, nutrient-packed meal.
