INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 tablespoon Basil Pesto
2 tablespoons Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 cup Broccoli (roasted)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for the broccoli.
Cut the broccoli into florets, toss with a small drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread out on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
While the broccoli roasts, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat until golden and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Once cooked, slice or dice into bite-sized pieces.
Cook whole wheat pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, diced chicken, pesto, and nonfat Greek yogurt. Toss well to coat evenly.
Plate the creamy chicken pesto pasta and top with a generous serving of roasted broccoli. Serve warm and enjoy.
