INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tbsp Pesto Sauce
2 tbsp Heavy Cream
1 tsp Mixed Italian Herbs
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and the mixed Italian herbs.
Roast the seasoned chicken in a baking dish for about 20-25 minutes until fully cooked and lightly browned. Once done, let it rest and then slice it into strips or bite-sized pieces.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, gently heat the pesto sauce with the heavy cream over low-medium heat, stirring to form a smooth, creamy sauce.
Add the roasted chicken pieces and cooked pasta to the sauce. Toss gently to coat evenly.
Adjust salt and pepper to taste, then serve warm, garnished with extra fresh basil if desired.
