INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Brown Rice
Approximately 6 roasted Asparagus spears ( ~0.25 bunch)
1 tablespoon Basil Pesto
1 tablespoon Nonfat Greek Yogurt
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and desired herbs.
Sear the chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side to develop a golden crust.
Transfer the chicken to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until thoroughly cooked.
Meanwhile, prepare the roasted asparagus by tossing asparagus spears with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spreading them on a baking tray. Roast in the oven for about 10 minutes until tender.
Warm the cooked brown rice if necessary.
In a small bowl, mix the basil pesto with nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce.
Plate the brown rice, top with sliced chicken breast, arrange the roasted asparagus on the side, and drizzle the creamy pesto over the chicken for an elevated finish.
