INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tbsp Basil Pesto
2 tbsp Non-fat Greek Yogurt
1 cup Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken breast until golden and cooked through (approximately 5-6 minutes per side). Once done, slice into strips.
Cook whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
Meanwhile, trim the asparagus and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and lightly charred.
In a small bowl, mix the basil pesto with non-fat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce.
Combine the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto sauce in a large bowl. Gently fold in the sliced chicken and roasted asparagus.
Serve warm, adjusting seasoning as desired. Enjoy your balanced and flavorful meal!
