Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Fresh Herbs
Savor tender chicken breast tossed with whole wheat pasta in a creamy, homemade pesto sauce enriched with light cream cheese. Fresh basil and a medley of herbs elevate this dish into a hearty yet balanced meal that delights with every bite.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
1 tbsp Homemade Basil Pesto
1 tbsp Fresh Mixed Herbs
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear on medium heat until fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes per side.
While the chicken is cooking, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, blend the light cream cheese with the homemade basil pesto until smooth. Adjust consistency with a splash of pasta water if needed.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips. In a large bowl, toss the pasta with the creamy pesto sauce. Gently fold in the chicken slices.
Garnish with freshly chopped mixed herbs, and serve warm.
