Savor a delightful fusion of flavors with tender chicken breast, hearty whole wheat pasta, crispy bacon, and melty mozzarella, all tossed in a creamy light pesto sauce elevated with a touch of low-fat Greek yogurt. This dish balances indulgence with nutrition for a satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 slice Bacon
1 oz Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese
1 tbsp Pesto Sauce
2 tbsp Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 clove Garlic (minced)
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet along with the minced garlic. Sauté until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes per side.
In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Crisp the bacon in a small pan over medium heat until it's just crispy. Remove and crumble once cooled.
In a bowl, mix the pesto sauce and low-fat Greek yogurt to create a creamy pesto mixture.
Slice the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and combine with the pasta in the skillet.
Pour the creamy pesto mixture over the pasta and chicken, stirring gently to coat evenly.
Add the crumbled bacon and sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top, allowing the residual heat to slightly melt the cheese.
Season with additional salt and pepper to taste and serve warm.
