Creamy Garlic Chicken Pesto Pasta
Enjoy a flavorful plate of creamy garlic chicken pesto pasta, where tender chicken breast mingles with al dente whole wheat pasta in a luxuriously aromatic sauce. This dish is elevated with the bright notes of basil pesto and the subtle warmth of garlic, all brought together with a touch of heavy cream to create a satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
1 tbsp Basil Pesto
2 tbsp Heavy Cream
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta in a pot of boiling salted water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat a small drizzle of olive oil over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove the chicken and slice it into strips.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the basil pesto and heavy cream. Allow the sauce to warm through for a minute, combining the flavors.
Return the sliced chicken to the skillet and toss to coat with the creamy pesto garlic sauce.
Combine the cooked pasta with the chicken and sauce, stirring well to blend all ingredients.
Serve immediately, enjoying each bite of the creamy, flavorful dish.
