Enjoy a nutrient-packed plate featuring tender grilled chicken, perfectly paired with whole wheat pasta enveloped in a light, creamy pesto sauce accented by a burst of fresh cherry tomatoes and spinach. The vibrant flavors and satisfying textures will make every bite an energizing delight.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 tbsp Basil Pesto
2 tbsp Non-fat Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 cup Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat with olive oil.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, then grill for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and juices run clear.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the pasta according to package directions until al dente, then drain.
In a bowl, whisk together the basil pesto and non-fat Greek yogurt to create a lighter, creamy sauce.
Combine the cooked pasta with the pesto-yogurt sauce, tossing to ensure even coating.
Chop the cherry tomatoes in half and add them along with fresh spinach to the pasta.
Slice the grilled chicken and serve it over the creamy pesto pasta.
Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and an extra pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
