PREPARATION

  • 1

    Cook whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  • 2

    Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper. Sear the chicken in a lightly oiled skillet over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Slice the chicken into strips.

  • 3

    In a food processor or blender, combine fresh basil leaves, pine nuts, grated Parmesan, olive oil, and nonfat Greek yogurt. Blend until smooth, adjusting consistency with a splash of water if needed. Season with salt and pepper to taste to create the creamy pesto sauce.

  • 4

    In a large bowl, toss the hot pasta with the creamy pesto sauce until well coated. Gently fold in the fresh spinach so it slightly wilts from the heat.

  • 5

    Serve the pesto pasta topped with sliced chicken breast. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the top and garnish with a few extra basil leaves if desired.
