INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1/2 cup diced Zucchini
1/2 cup diced Red Bell Pepper
1/2 cup halved Cherry Tomatoes
1 tbsp Pesto Sauce
1 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Slice the zucchini and red bell pepper into bite-sized pieces and halve the cherry tomatoes.
Toss the veggies with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until tender.
While the veggies roast, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear the chicken over medium-high heat for about 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the pesto sauce with nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy pesto mixture.
Slice the cooked chicken breast into strips.
Combine the pasta, roasted veggies, and sliced chicken in a bowl, then gently toss with the creamy pesto mixture until everything is evenly coated.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
