A deliciously balanced dish featuring tender herb-roasted chicken tossed with whole wheat pasta and a vibrant, creamy pesto sauce enhanced with a touch of Greek yogurt and fresh basil. The harmony of rich aromatic herbs with the light creaminess makes it an enticing meal ideal for a healthful dinner.
INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 tablespoon Pesto
2 tablespoons Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tablespoon Fresh Basil (chopped)
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly season the chicken breast with your preferred herbs and a pinch of salt before roasting.
Place the chicken in a baking dish and roast for about 18-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Once cooked, let it rest and then slice it into bite-sized pieces.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the pesto with the Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce basis.
Combine the cooked pasta, sliced roasted chicken, and pesto-yogurt sauce in a large mixing bowl. Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.
Finish by stirring in the freshly chopped basil and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, protein-packed meal.
