INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup whole wheat pasta (cooked)
1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1 tbsp pesto
2 tbsp nonfat Greek yogurt
1 tsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Toss the halved cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes until they begin to soften and char lightly.
While tomatoes roast, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear the chicken over medium-high heat until cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Let it rest before slicing.
Prepare whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente.
In a small bowl, mix the pesto and Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce.
Toss the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto sauce until evenly coated.
Combine the sliced chicken, roasted cherry tomatoes, and dressed pasta on a plate. Serve warm and enjoy the balanced, flavorful meal.
