Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Roasted Vegetables
A vibrant dish that features tender grilled chicken, whole wheat pasta tossed in a luscious creamy pesto sauce, and a medley of roasted vegetables. Each bite brings a balance of herbaceous pesto, juicy chicken, and lightly caramelized vegetables for an energizing meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1/2 cup Assorted Roasted Vegetables
1 tbsp Pesto
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss your choice of chopped vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes) with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them on a baking sheet.
Roast the vegetables in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the vegetables roast, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear the chicken over medium-high heat for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the pesto and nonfat Greek yogurt until well combined to create a creamy sauce.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips. In a large bowl, toss the pasta with the creamy pesto sauce, then gently fold in the roasted vegetables and chicken strips.
Plate the dish and garnish with fresh basil if desired. Enjoy your balanced, protein-packed meal!
