INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces dry Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tablespoons Pesto
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil, chopped
2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley, chopped
PREPARATION
Start by cooking the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper, then sauté in a non-stick pan over medium heat until fully cooked and golden on the outside, about 4-5 minutes per side.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the creamy pesto sauce by mixing the pesto with nonfat Greek yogurt in a small bowl until well combined.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips and add it to the cooked pasta along with cherry tomatoes.
Drizzle the creamy pesto sauce over the pasta and chicken, and toss gently to coat evenly.
Finish by garnishing with fresh basil and parsley. Serve warm and enjoy the fresh, creamy, and herby flavors.
