2 tablespoons Nonfat Greek Yogurt (30g)
1 clove Garlic (3g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach (30g)

Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden.
In a small bowl, combine the basil pesto, nonfat Greek yogurt, and minced garlic to create a creamy pesto sauce.
Slice the cooked chicken breast into strips.
In the skillet, add the fresh spinach and gently sauté until wilted. Then add the sliced chicken, cooked pasta, and creamy pesto sauce. Toss gently until the ingredients are evenly coated with the sauce.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, protein-rich dinner.
