INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
2 tbsp Fresh Basil Pesto
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
6 spears Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them on a baking tray and roast for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, add a small drizzle of olive oil and minced garlic, then sauté the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked through.
Meanwhile, cook whole wheat pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the fresh basil pesto with nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce.
Slice the cooked chicken breast into strips. In a large mixing bowl, toss the pasta, chicken slices, and roasted asparagus with the creamy pesto sauce until evenly coated.
Adjust seasonings with additional salt and pepper if desired, then serve warm.
