PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.

Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
In a small bowl, combine the traditional pesto and nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy pesto sauce.
Toss the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto sauce until evenly coated.
Top the pasta with sliced chicken and sprinkle fresh mixed herbs over the dish for a burst of color and flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
