INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Penne Pasta (cooked)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Pesto Sauce
1 cup Roasted Mixed Vegetables
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for roasting the vegetables.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear the chicken until fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes per side depending on thickness. Once cooked, slice the chicken into strips.
Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Toss your choice of chopped vegetables (such as zucchini, red bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes) with a light drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
In a bowl, mix the nonfat Greek yogurt with the pesto sauce to create a creamy dressing.
Combine the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto mixture, ensuring the pasta is evenly coated.
Plate the pasta and top with sliced chicken and a side of roasted mixed vegetables. Serve warm and enjoy your balanced meal.
