INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 tbsp Pesto Sauce
2 tbsp Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
2 tbsp Fresh Basil, chopped
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
PREPARATION
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
Cook the chicken breast until it is golden and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side, then slice it into strips.
In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta.
In a small bowl, mix the pesto sauce with low-fat Greek yogurt to create a creamy dressing.
Combine the cooked pasta and chicken strips in a large mixing bowl, then toss with the creamy pesto mixture until evenly coated.
Garnish with freshly chopped basil and parsley before serving.
