INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 tbsp Pesto Sauce
1 tbsp Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
Fresh Basil leaves for garnish (optional)
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and sear for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
In a small bowl, mix the pesto sauce with non-fat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce.
Slice the chicken into strips once rested for a couple of minutes.
Toss the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto mixture in the skillet over low heat, warming through.
Plate the pasta and top with the sliced chicken. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, and serve immediately.
