INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Light Pesto
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1/4 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
1 Garlic Clove
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side until thoroughly cooked and lightly golden.
Meanwhile, cook whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the light pesto and nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce.
Roughly chop cherry tomatoes, garlic, and fresh basil leaves. If desired, lightly sauté the garlic for 30 seconds in the same skillet to release its aroma.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips and toss with the pasta. Stir in the creamy pesto mixture and gently mix in the tomatoes and basil.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving immediately.
