INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup dry Whole Wheat Pasta (approx. 42g)
2 oz Low-Fat Cream Cheese
1 tbsp Pesto Sauce
2 tbsp chopped Fresh Basil
2 tbsp chopped Fresh Parsley
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by cooking the whole wheat pasta in a pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet, cook the chicken breast over medium heat until golden and cooked through, approximately 5-6 minutes per side. Once cooked, slice the chicken into strips.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the low-fat cream cheese along with the pesto sauce. Stir until the cream cheese melts and the pesto is well incorporated to create a creamy sauce.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to evenly coat with the creamy pesto sauce.
Gently fold in the sliced chicken and mix until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper if needed.
Finish by garnishing with freshly chopped basil and parsley. Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful, protein-packed meal.
