INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
2 tablespoons Homemade Pesto Sauce
2 tablespoons Nonfat Greek Yogurt
5 Fresh Basil Leaves
PREPARATION
Begin by cooking the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a nonstick skillet, cook the chicken over medium heat until cooked through and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes per side. Once done, slice the chicken into strips.
In a mixing bowl, combine the homemade pesto sauce and nonfat Greek yogurt until smooth. Adjust the mix if needed for your preferred creaminess.
Toss the cooked pasta with the pesto-yogurt sauce until well coated. Gently fold in the sliced chicken to distribute evenly.
Plate the dish and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful blend of flavors.
