INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 tablespoon Pesto Sauce
2 tablespoons Nonfat Greek Yogurt
6 spears Asparagus
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly coat the asparagus with olive oil, then season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the pasta according to package instructions. Once done, drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the pesto sauce with nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy, tangy sauce.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips. Toss the warm pasta with the creamy pesto sauce until well coated.
Serve the pasta with chicken strips on top, and add the roasted asparagus on the side. Enjoy!
