INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Penne Pasta (cooked)
1/2 cup Roasted Asparagus
2 tablespoons Creamy Pesto Sauce
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F for roasting the asparagus.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs. Grill or sear the chicken until fully cooked and then slice it into strips.
Toss the asparagus with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes until tender.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat penne according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the creamy pesto sauce by mixing fresh basil pesto with a spoonful of low-fat Greek yogurt until smooth.
Combine the cooked pasta, grilled chicken slices, and roasted asparagus in a mixing bowl. Drizzle the creamy pesto sauce over the top and toss gently to coat evenly.
Serve warm and enjoy a balanced, flavorful meal.
