INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 tbsp Pesto Sauce
1/4 cup Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 cup Baby Spinach
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
PREPARATION
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with cooking spray.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Sear the chicken in the skillet for about 4-5 minutes per side until fully cooked, then remove and slice into strips.
While the chicken cooks, prepare whole wheat pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine pesto sauce with low-fat Greek yogurt, stirring until smooth to create a light, creamy sauce.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto sauce, baby spinach, and halved cherry tomatoes.
Gently fold in the sliced chicken breast, ensuring even distribution of ingredients.
Serve immediately, garnished with a few extra basil leaves if desired.
