Enjoy a delicious plate featuring tender, pan-seared chicken paired with whole wheat pasta tossed in a light, creamy pesto sauce enriched with fresh basil and a hint of Greek yogurt. This dish offers a delightful blend of savory and fresh flavors, perfectly balanced for a satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
2 tbsp Light Pesto Sauce
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 tbsp Fresh Basil
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, and add the chicken breast. Pan-sear the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and stir in the light pesto sauce to warm it up slightly.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing gently to coat it evenly with the pesto sauce.
Mix in the halved cherry tomatoes and sprinkle with fresh basil.
Plate the pesto pasta and lay the sliced chicken breast on top. Serve immediately.
