INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (approx. 140g)
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked, approx. 70g)
1 tbsp Pesto Sauce (approx. 16g)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (approx. 60g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach (approx. 30g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (approx. 4.5g)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken breast into the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and let rest.
While the chicken cooks, prepare whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
In a small bowl, whisk together the pesto sauce and nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy pesto mixture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, fresh spinach, and creamy pesto sauce. Toss gently until the spinach wilts slightly from the warmth of the pasta.
Slice the pan-seared chicken breast and arrange it on top of the creamy pesto pasta.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed and serve warm.
