INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast

1 tablespoon Pesto

PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill or sear in a non-stick pan over medium heat until fully cooked and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes per side. Once cooked, slice into strips.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the nonfat Greek yogurt and pesto until smooth. Stir in the chopped fresh basil and parsley.
Combine the pasta with the creamy pesto sauce, adding a splash of water from the pasta if needed to adjust consistency.
Gently toss in the sliced chicken and mix until evenly coated.
Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
