Savor the delightful medley of tender herb-roasted chicken paired with whole wheat pasta tossed in a light, creamy pesto sauce. This dish balances robust flavors and fresh ingredients, making it a versatile choice for lunch or dinner.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
50 grams Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tablespoons Low-Fat Cream
1 tablespoon Basil Pesto
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes (halved)
1 clove Garlic
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil (chopped)
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and chopped fresh basil. Roast on a baking sheet for about 20-25 minutes until fully cooked.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, sauté minced garlic until fragrant, then add the low-fat cream and basil pesto. Stir to combine and warm through without boiling.
Slice the roasted chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Toss the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto sauce, and add in the sliced chicken and halved cherry tomatoes.
Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired, and serve immediately.
