INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tbsp Creamy Pesto
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs. Place it on a baking sheet.
Roast the chicken in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Once done, let it rest for a few minutes and then slice it.
While the chicken is roasting, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl or food processor, combine fresh basil, garlic, a squeeze of lemon juice, a small drizzle of olive oil, and nonfat Greek yogurt to form a creamy pesto. Season with salt and pepper.
Toss the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto until evenly coated.
Plate the pesto pasta and top with the sliced roasted chicken. Serve immediately and enjoy the harmonious blend of flavors.
