Creamy Chicken Pesto Pasta with Roasted Asparagus
Savor the delightful combination of tender chicken, whole wheat pasta enveloped in a light, creamy pesto sauce accented with a touch of Greek yogurt, and perfectly roasted asparagus for a refreshing, balanced meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast (113g)
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Penne Pasta (70g)
1 tbsp Basil Pesto (16g)
2 tbsp Non-fat Greek Yogurt (30g)
5 spears Asparagus (92g)
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (4.5g)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them on a baking sheet. Roast for about 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the asparagus roasts, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Sauté the chicken in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes per side, then slice into strips.
In a separate pot, prepare the whole wheat penne pasta according to package instructions, then drain.
In a mixing bowl, combine the pesto and Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce. Toss the cooked pasta with the sauce until evenly coated.
Plate the pasta, top with sliced chicken, and arrange the roasted asparagus on the side. Serve warm and enjoy the blend of flavors.
