INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast (roasted)
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Basil (chopped)
1 clove Garlic (crushed)
1 tsp Parmesan Cheese (grated)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Roast the chicken breast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Once cooked, let it rest for a few minutes and then slice it.
While the chicken is roasting, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the nonfat Greek yogurt, olive oil, chopped basil, crushed garlic, and Parmesan cheese to create a creamy pesto sauce. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.
Toss the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto sauce until evenly coated.
Plate the pesto pasta and top with sliced roasted chicken. Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired and serve warm.
