Ingredients:
- 4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 (16 to 510g) tube polenta, cut into 8 rounds
- 450g cooked chicken, shredded or cut into small pieces
- 450g frozen peas, thawed
- ½ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup pesto
Instructions:
- Warm up 2 teaspoons of oil in a spacious nonstick pan on medium heat. Place the polenta in the pan and cook until heated, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Then, shift the polenta onto 4 plates.
- While the polenta is cooking, warm up the rest of the 2 teaspoons of oil in a large pan on medium heat. Add the chicken and peas, cover the pan, and cook. Remember to stir occasionally until the chicken and peas are heated through, which should take around 2 to 4 minutes. Once done, take the pan off the heat and mix in yogurt and pesto.
