INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 serving (30g) Pesto Sauce
1/4 cup Fresh Basil
0.5 tbsp Pine Nuts
0.5 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
2 tbsp Non-fat Greek Yogurt
1 clove Garlic
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Sauté in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat until fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes per side. Slice into strips once cooled slightly.
Prepare the creamy pesto by blending fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, and non-fat Greek yogurt until a smooth consistency is achieved. Adjust salt and pepper as needed.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, sliced chicken, and the creamy pesto sauce. Toss gently until well coated.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
