INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 tbsp Basil Pesto
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and season the chicken breast with your favorite herbs, salt, and pepper.
Roast the chicken in the oven for about 18-20 minutes or until it's fully cooked and juices run clear. Allow it to rest before slicing into strips.
While the chicken is roasting, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the basil pesto with nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
Toss the warm pasta with the creamy pesto sauce and gently mix in the fresh spinach so it lightly wilts.
Top the pasta with sliced herb-roasted chicken and serve immediately for a satisfying meal.
