INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
2 tbsp Basil Pesto
1/4 cup Fat-Free Greek Yogurt
1 Garlic Clove
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper
PREPARATION
Begin by cooking the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and minced garlic, cooking until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and lightly browned on both sides (about 5-6 minutes per side). Once cooked, slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, mix the basil pesto with the fat-free Greek yogurt until smooth. This will create a creamy pesto sauce.
Combine the cooked pasta, sliced chicken, and fresh spinach in the skillet or a large mixing bowl. Pour the creamy pesto sauce over the mixture and toss gently to evenly coat the ingredients.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm, enjoying the harmony of the savory chicken, vibrant spinach, and zesty, creamy pesto sauce.
