INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup dry Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tablespoons Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/2 tablespoon Basil Pesto
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil
2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear on medium heat until fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes per side. Allow to rest and then slice into strips or bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, combine the nonfat Greek yogurt and basil pesto. Stir well to create a light, creamy sauce.
Toss the warm pasta with the yogurt-pesto sauce until evenly coated.
Gently fold in the sliced chicken, allowing the flavors to meld.
Garnish with freshly chopped basil and parsley before serving.
