INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Light Cream Cheese

PREPARATION
Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet along with the cherry tomatoes. Stir to combine.
Pour the creamy pesto sauce over the pasta mixture and toss everything gently to ensure evenly coated ingredients.
