Enjoy a vibrant plate featuring tender, seared chicken breast paired with al dente whole wheat pasta enveloped in a velvety, creamy pesto sauce. Blistered cherry tomatoes add a burst of sweetness and juiciness, creating a balanced dish that satisfies both taste and nutrition.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast (113g)
0.75 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta (105g)
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes (150g)
1 tablespoon Basil Pesto (15g)
0.25 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (60g)
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until cooked through and golden on the outside. Remove from the skillet and let it rest before slicing.
While the chicken is resting, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the cherry tomatoes and cook over medium-high heat until blistered on all sides, about 3-4 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the basil pesto with nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce.
Combine the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto sauce, tossing gently to coat.
Plate the pasta, top with sliced pan-seared chicken and add the blistered tomatoes on top. Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced meal.
