INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/2 medium Avocado
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 lemon (juice and zest)
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tbsp Fresh Basil, chopped
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Prepare the pasta according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chicken until cooked through and lightly golden, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from heat and slice into strips.
In a blender or food processor, combine the avocado, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, basil, and parsley. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Toss the cooked pasta with the avocado-lemon sauce until evenly coated.
Gently fold in the sautéed chicken, and adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra fresh herbs if desired.
