INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese
2 tablespoons Fresh Mixed Herbs
PREPARATION
Start by cooking the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Sauté or grill the chicken over medium heat until fully cooked and lightly browned on both sides. Once done, slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
For the creamy pesto sauce, combine the fresh basil leaves, nonfat Greek yogurt, olive oil, and garlic in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
In a large bowl, toss the cooked pasta with the pesto sauce until evenly coated.
Gently fold in the sliced chicken and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and fresh mixed herbs.
Serve warm and enjoy a balanced, flavorful meal.
