INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 tbsp Basil Pesto
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 cup Mixed Roasted Vegetables
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss your mixed vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast for about 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
While the vegetables are roasting, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear the chicken over medium heat until fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes per side. Once done, let it rest and then slice into strips.
Prepare whole wheat pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine basil pesto and nonfat Greek yogurt to create a light creamy sauce.
In a large bowl, toss the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto sauce, adding a sprinkle more salt and pepper if needed.
Plate the pasta, top with sliced chicken breast, and arrange the roasted vegetables on the side. Serve warm and enjoy.
