INGREDIENTS

Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet, cook the chicken over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and golden brown. Allow to rest briefly before slicing.
In a mixing bowl, toss the warm pasta with reduced fat pesto sauce until evenly coated.
Slice the chicken into strips and gently mix into the pasta.
