INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Fresh Spinach
2 tablespoons Pesto Sauce
2 tablespoons Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
PREPARATION
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or a small amount of olive oil if desired.
Season the 4 ounces of chicken breast with salt and pepper. Sauté the chicken in the skillet until it is cooked through and has a golden exterior, approximately 5-7 minutes per side.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the 2 tablespoons of pesto sauce with 2 tablespoons of plain nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy dressing.
Once the chicken is cooked, slice it into strips. In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, fresh spinach, and chicken slices.
Drizzle the creamy pesto dressing over the mixture. Toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Serve warm, and enjoy your nutrient-packed, flavorful meal.
