INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 tbsp Basil Pesto (light)
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 cup Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F for roasting the asparagus.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, then grill or pan-sear over medium heat until fully cooked (about 6-7 minutes per side). Let it rest and then slice.
Toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions, then drain.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta with basil pesto and nonfat Greek yogurt. Mix thoroughly to create a creamy sauce.
Gently fold in the sliced chicken and roasted asparagus, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, creamy, and flavorful dinner.
