INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Penne Pasta
1 bunch Asparagus (approx 6 spears)
1 tbsp Basil Pesto
1 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Trim the asparagus by snapping off the woody ends, then toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Spread the asparagus on a baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes until tender.
While the asparagus roasts, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper and cook in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked (about 5-7 minutes per side). Once cooked, slice or cube the chicken.
Prepare the whole wheat penne pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the basil pesto and nonfat Greek yogurt to create a light, creamy sauce.
Toss the cooked pasta with the sauce, then gently fold in the chicken pieces and roasted asparagus.
Adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper if needed, and serve warm.
