Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Fresh Herbs
Enjoy a delightful twist on classic pesto pasta with tender chicken, a light and creamy pesto sauce, and a burst of fresh herbs. This dish offers a satisfying balance of protein and carbs, making it a perfect choice for a do-anytime meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tbsp Light Basil Pesto
1 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
1/4 cup Fresh Mixed Herbs
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Sauté in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Once cooked, slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, lower the heat and add the light basil pesto and light cream cheese. Stir well to combine and allow the sauce to warm up, creating a creamy texture.
Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken into the skillet, tossing gently to ensure even coating with the creamy pesto sauce.
Top the dish with fresh mixed herbs before serving to add a burst of color and flavor.
