Roasted Chicken with Creamy Pesto Whole Wheat Pasta
Savor a light yet satisfying dish featuring tender roasted chicken paired with whole wheat pasta tossed in a creamy pesto sauce. The bright freshness of basil and garlic melds with a hint of tangy Greek yogurt, making this meal both comforting and vibrant.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz Roasted Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tbsp Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
½ cup Fresh Basil Leaves
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, and roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes or until fully cooked.
While the chicken roasts, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a food processor or blender, combine the fresh basil leaves, garlic, a pinch of salt, and the extra virgin olive oil. Blend until smooth.
Mix the blended basil mixture with the plain Greek yogurt and grated Parmesan cheese to create a creamy pesto sauce. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Slice the roasted chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, toss the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto sauce until evenly coated.
Top the pasta with the sliced roasted chicken and serve immediately.
