INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Fusilli
1 Tbsp Pesto
2 Tbsp Non-fat Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1/2 cup Cucumber
1 cup Baby Spinach
PREPARATION
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper and grill for 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked. Allow to rest and then slice into strips.
Cook the whole wheat fusilli according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and let cool.
In a small bowl, mix together the pesto and non-fat Greek yogurt to create a creamy dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta, sliced chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and baby spinach.
Drizzle the creamy pesto dressing over the mixture and toss gently until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for a chilled salad that deepens the flavors.
