Savor the delightful blend of tender herb-roasted chicken with whole wheat pasta tossed in a light, creamy basil-garlic pesto. This dish brings together the warmth of roasted chicken, the nutty texture of whole wheat pasta, and the bright, fresh flavors of basil and lemon for a balanced, satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Fresh Basil, chopped
1 clove Garlic
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a light drizzle of olive oil if desired, then roast for 20-25 minutes until cooked through.
While the chicken roasts, cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the nonfat Greek yogurt, chopped fresh basil, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Stir well to create a creamy herb pesto sauce.
Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
In a large bowl, toss the cooked pasta with the creamy herb pesto. Gently mix in the sliced chicken and halved cherry tomatoes.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed, and serve warm.
