INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/3 cup dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1 tablespoon Basil Pesto
2 tablespoons Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup halved Cherry Tomatoes
PREPARATION
Begin by cooking the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with your choice of salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear the chicken over medium-high heat until fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes per side. Once done, let it rest and then slice it.
In a small bowl, mix the basil pesto with nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce.
In a large bowl, toss the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto sauce until evenly coated.
Fold in the halved cherry tomatoes and gently mix.
Plate the pasta and top with sliced chicken breast. Garnish with fresh basil if desired, and serve immediately.
