Enjoy a vibrant dish featuring tender chicken breast tossed with whole wheat pasta in a luscious, creamy pesto sauce enriched with nonfat Greek yogurt. Fresh basil pesto and a sprinkle of aromatic herbs elevate this meal into a satisfying balance of texture and flavor—perfect for any dinner table.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
0.75 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 tablespoon Basil Pesto
1 tablespoon Nonfat Greek Yogurt
0.25 cup Cherry Tomatoes
2 tablespoons Fresh Mixed Herbs (Basil, Parsley)
PREPARATION
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and lightly season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
Cook the chicken breast until it is golden and no longer pink in the center, approximately 6-8 minutes per side depending on thickness. Once cooked, dice into bite-sized pieces.
Meanwhile, prepare whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine basil pesto and nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto sauce until evenly coated.
Gently fold in the diced chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped fresh herbs.
Serve warm, garnished with additional herbs if desired.
