INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta

2 tbsp Light Cream
Fresh Basil leaves (approx. 5 leaves)
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and lightly browned.
In a small bowl, mix the basil pesto with light cream to achieve a creamy consistency.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips and toss with the pasta and the creamy pesto sauce until evenly coated.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
