INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Penne Pasta (cooked)
2 tablespoons Pesto Sauce
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil, chopped
2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked. Let rest and then slice into strips.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat penne pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the pesto sauce with nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce. Stir in the chopped fresh basil and parsley.
Toss the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto sauce until evenly coated. Gently fold in the sliced chicken.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
