INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tbsp Homemade Basil Pesto
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
5 Fresh Basil Leaves (garnish)
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil and add whole wheat pasta, cooking until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked. Once cooked, slice into strips.
In a small bowl, mix the homemade basil pesto with nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce.
Combine the cooked pasta and chicken slices in a large bowl. Drizzle the creamy pesto sauce over the top and toss until evenly coated.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve warm.
