INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast (113g)
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (56g)
2 tablespoons Basil Pesto (30g)
2 tablespoons Low-Fat Greek Yogurt (30g)
1/4 cup Cherry Tomatoes (37g)
Fresh Basil garnish
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and lightly browned. Let it rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.
In a small bowl, combine the basil pesto and low-fat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce.
Toss the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto sauce until evenly coated.
Gently fold in the cherry tomatoes and sliced chicken.
Plate the dish and garnish with fresh basil sprigs. Serve warm and enjoy.
