INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
2 tablespoons Pesto Sauce
2 tablespoons Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 cup Baby Spinach
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked and golden.
In a small bowl, gently combine the pesto sauce with nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy pesto mixture.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips.
In a large bowl, toss the warm pasta with the creamy pesto sauce until evenly coated.
Add the sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, and baby spinach to the pasta. Toss gently to mix and lower the spinach slightly with the heat from the pasta.
Serve warm and enjoy this balanced, flavorful meal.
