Creamy Lemon Garlic Chicken Pasta with Fresh Herbs
Savor the delightful blend of tangy lemon and aromatic garlic infused in a creamy sauce over tender chicken and whole wheat pasta. Finished with a burst of fresh basil and parsley, this dish offers a balanced and refreshing experience perfect for a wholesome meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
2 cloves Garlic
2 Tbsp Low-Fat Cream Cheese
2 Tbsp Fresh Basil (chopped)
2 Tbsp Fresh Parsley (chopped)
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Sauté the chicken breast until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest before slicing.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the lemon juice and low-fat cream cheese, allowing the creaminess to blend with the zesty lemon and garlic, creating a light sauce.
Return the sliced chicken to the skillet, then toss in the cooked pasta. Mix well to ensure the pasta is evenly coated with the creamy sauce.
Finish by stirring in the chopped fresh basil and parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm and enjoy!
