Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Fresh Herbs
Savor a delectable fusion of tender chicken, whole wheat pasta, and a light yet creamy pesto sauce accented with fresh herbs and cherry tomatoes. This vibrant dish balances protein with a hint of creamy tang, making it a perfect meal choice for any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tablespoons Light Cream Cheese
1 tablespoon Pesto Sauce
1 serving Cherry Tomatoes (approx. 4 tomatoes)
2 tablespoons Fresh Herbs (Basil, Parsley)
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of lightly salted 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 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Once cooked, let it rest and then slice it into strips.
In a small bowl, mix the light cream cheese and pesto sauce until smooth. If desired, warm the mixture slightly to enhance the creaminess.
Combine the cooked pasta and sliced chicken in a large mixing bowl. Add the creamy pesto mixture and toss well to evenly coat.
Gently fold in the cherry tomatoes and freshly chopped herbs. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
Serve warm, garnished with extra fresh herbs if desired.
