INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast (113g)
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (56g)
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes (150g)
1 cup Spinach (30g)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (61g)
1 tbsp Basil Pesto (16g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (4.5g)
PREPARATION
Begin by cooking the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the chicken on both sides until fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes per side. Once done, remove and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add the cherry tomatoes. Cook over medium heat until they blister and soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet with tomatoes and allow it to wilt, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, mix the nonfat Greek yogurt and basil pesto to form a creamy sauce.
Combine the cooked pasta, sliced chicken, blistered tomatoes, and spinach. Drizzle the creamy pesto sauce over the top and gently toss to incorporate all flavors.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
