INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 ounce Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
0.5 cup Fresh Basil (loosely packed)
1 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Light Greek Yogurt
1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan Cheese
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the whole wheat pasta, cooking until al dente as per package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken. Sear the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side until it is fully cooked and has a golden crust.
In a blender or food processor, combine fresh basil, garlic, Greek yogurt, and grated Parmesan. Blend until smooth to create a creamy pesto sauce.
Toss the cooked pasta with the prepared pesto sauce until fully coated.
Plate the pasta and top with the sliced pan-seared chicken. Garnish with extra basil or Parmesan if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, flavor-packed meal.
