Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Fresh Herbs
Savor the delightful medley of tender roasted chicken, hearty whole wheat pasta, and a vibrant, creamy pesto sauce accented with fresh basil and parsley. Each bite delivers a satisfying blend of rich, herby flavors balanced with a light, refreshing finish from juicy cherry tomatoes.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast (cooked, roasted)
2/3 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tablespoons Homemade Pesto Sauce
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes (halved)
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil and Parsley, chopped
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Season the chicken breast lightly with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of your favorite dried herbs before roasting until fully cooked, about 20-25 minutes.
While the chicken is in the oven, cook whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the homemade pesto sauce by blending fresh basil, parsley, a small amount of garlic, pine nuts, a drizzle of olive oil, and a bit of Parmesan (if desired) until smooth. For this recipe, measure 2 tablespoons of the sauce.
Slice the roasted chicken into bite-sized pieces and combine with the cooked pasta in a bowl.
Add the pesto sauce and gently toss the pasta and chicken until evenly coated.
Fold in the halved cherry tomatoes and sprinkle additional fresh basil and parsley on top for an extra burst of flavor.
Serve warm, and enjoy your Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Fresh Herbs!
