INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
2 tablespoons Pesto Sauce
2 tablespoons Light Cream Cheese
0.25 cup Fresh Basil (chopped)
0.5 cup Cherry Tomatoes (halved)
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, about 5-7 minutes per side, then slice into strips.
In a small bowl, combine the pesto sauce with the light cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Toss the cooked pasta with the pesto cream sauce until evenly coated.
Gently fold in the sliced chicken, fresh chopped basil, and halved cherry tomatoes.
Plate the pasta dish and garnish with an extra sprinkle of fresh basil if desired. Serve warm.
