Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Fresh Herbs
Savor a delectable fusion of tender chicken breast and whole wheat pasta enveloped in a silky, herb-infused creamy pesto sauce. This dish balances vibrant basil and parsley with a light cream touch, bringing a refreshing and satisfying meal suitable for any time of the day.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
2 tablespoons Pesto Sauce
2 tablespoons Light Cream
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil (chopped)
2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley (chopped)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until it is fully cooked and golden brown. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat and add the pesto sauce and light cream. Stir gently to combine and create a smooth, creamy sauce.
Add the sliced chicken and cooked pasta to the skillet, gently tossing to ensure the pasta and chicken are fully coated in the creamy pesto sauce.
Finish by stirring in the fresh chopped basil and parsley, reserving a little for garnish if desired. Adjust salt and pepper to taste before serving.
