INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
0.5 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 tablespoon Fresh Basil Pesto (with Greek Yogurt)
1 cup Spinach
0.25 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, until golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
In a small bowl, mix the pesto with a bit of water from the pasta if needed to achieve a creamy consistency.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips. In the skillet, add the spinach and cherry tomatoes, stirring briefly until the spinach wilts.
Toss the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto sauce in the skillet. Top with the sliced chicken.
Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful, balanced dinner.
