INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tbsp Pesto Sauce
1/4 cup Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta until al dente, then drain.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side.
While the chicken is cooking, combine the pesto sauce and non-fat Greek yogurt in a small bowl to create a creamy sauce.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips or bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto sauce until well coated.
Fold in the sliced chicken, ensuring an even distribution of flavors. Optionally, garnish with fresh basil or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, nutrient-packed meal.
