Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Fresh Basil
Savor a delightful blend of tender chicken breast and whole wheat pasta tossed in a luscious, creamy pesto sauce. This dish bursts with aromatic basil and a subtle hint of garlic, making it a satisfying meal for any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast (113g)
1/2 cup dry Whole Wheat Pasta (56g)
2 tbsp Pesto Sauce (30g)
1/4 cup Fresh Basil (5g)
1/4 cup halved Cherry Tomatoes (40g)
1/2 cup Fresh Spinach (15g)
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until thoroughly cooked. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
In the same skillet, add the pesto sauce along with a splash of pasta water to create a light, creamy coating. Toss in the cooked pasta and stir until evenly combined.
Fold in fresh spinach and cherry tomatoes, allowing the residual heat to slightly wilt the greens and soften the tomatoes.
Plate the pasta, top with sliced chicken breast, and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful, balanced meal.
