INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
2 tbsp Basil Pesto
2 tbsp Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
0.5 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 cup Baby Spinach
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet, cook the chicken over medium heat until fully cooked and lightly browned, about 5-6 minutes per side. Once done, slice into bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, mix the basil pesto with the non-fat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce.
In the skillet used for the chicken, add the cherry tomatoes and baby spinach, and lightly sauté until just softened, about 2 minutes.
Combine the cooked pasta, sautéed vegetables, and sliced chicken in the skillet. Pour the creamy pesto sauce over the top and toss gently to coat evenly.
Serve warm and enjoy!
