Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Fresh Herbs
Savor a delightful medley of tender chicken breast, whole wheat pasta, and a silky, light cream pesto sauce accented with garden-fresh herbs. This dish offers a harmonious blend of flavors and textures, perfect for a nutritious and flavorful meal any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
2 tbsp Half-and-Half
1 tbsp Basil Pesto
2 tbsp Fresh Basil, chopped
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Once boiling, add the whole wheat pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, sear the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove chicken from heat and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, lower the heat and add the half-and-half. Stir in the basil pesto until fully combined and heated through, forming a light, creamy sauce.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat it evenly in the sauce. Gently mix in the sliced chicken.
Finish by sprinkling the fresh chopped basil and parsley over the dish. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful, nutrient-packed meal.
