INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta, cooked
1 tablespoon Basil Pesto
1/4 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tablespoon Mixed Fresh Herbs
PREPARATION
Prep the chicken breast by seasoning lightly with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear over medium heat until fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes per side. Allow it to rest before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the basil pesto with the plain nonfat Greek yogurt until smooth to create a creamy sauce.
Combine the cooked pasta and sliced chicken in a large bowl. Pour the creamy pesto sauce over the mixture, tossing gently to evenly coat.
Finish by sprinkling the mixed fresh herbs over the dish for a burst of color and extra flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant, healthy meal.
