INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Penne Pasta
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/2 medium Zucchini
1 tablespoon light Basil Pesto
2 tablespoons Nonfat Greek Yogurt
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Slice the red bell pepper into strips and cut the zucchini into half-moons.
Place the vegetables on a baking sheet, drizzle with a light spray of olive oil (optional) and season with salt and pepper, then roast for 15-18 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the vegetables roast, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Sauté in a nonstick skillet over medium heat for about 5-6 minutes per side until cooked through, then slice into strips.
Prepare the whole wheat penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
In a mixing bowl, combine the pesto and nonfat Greek yogurt to create a light creamy sauce.
Toss the warm pasta with the sauce, add the sliced chicken and roasted vegetables, and gently mix until evenly coated.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, protein-rich meal.
