INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
50 g Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
2 tbsp Basil Pesto Sauce
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta in a pot of boiling water until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side or until thoroughly cooked. Remove from the skillet and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add the teaspoon of olive oil and toss in the cherry tomatoes. Sauté until the tomatoes blister and soften, about 3-4 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the basil pesto sauce with the nonfat Greek yogurt for a creamy consistency.
Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken back into the skillet with the tomatoes. Drizzle the creamy pesto mixture over the top and gently toss until everything is evenly coated and heated through.
