INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Mixed Vegetables (Zucchini, Bell Pepper, Red Onion)
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Fresh Basil
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the mixed vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them evenly on a baking sheet.
Roast the vegetables in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly charred on the edges.
While the vegetables roast, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium-high heat, sear the chicken breast for 2-3 minutes per side until a golden crust forms. Then finish cooking in the oven or reduce heat and cover until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, about 6-8 minutes total.
In a blender or food processor, combine the nonfat Greek yogurt, fresh basil, garlic clove, lemon juice, a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth to create the creamy pesto sauce.
Slice the cooked chicken breast and plate alongside the roasted vegetables. Drizzle the creamy pesto over the chicken and vegetables, and serve immediately.
