INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tbsp Pesto Sauce
1/2 cup roasted Cherry Tomatoes
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the cherry tomatoes lightly with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them out on a baking sheet. Roast for about 10-12 minutes until they begin to burst.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet, cook the chicken over medium heat until browned on both sides and cooked through (about 5-6 minutes per side). Once done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the pesto sauce with nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy dressing.
In a large bowl, toss the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto mixture. Gently fold in the sliced chicken and roasted cherry tomatoes.
Serve immediately, adjusting salt and pepper to taste.
