Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Fresh Herbs
Savor a delightful twist on a classic pasta dish, where tender pieces of chicken breast meet whole wheat pasta in a luxuriously creamy pesto sauce accented with fresh basil and mixed herbs. Every bite is a blend of vibrant flavors and fresh aromas that make a scrumptious meal for any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
2 tbsp Light Cream
1 tbsp Pesto Sauce
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
2 tbsp Mixed Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Chives)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Mince the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the chicken breast (cut into bite-sized pieces) to the skillet and cook until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the pesto sauce and light cream, letting the flavors meld for 2 minutes.
Toss in the cooked pasta, ensuring it is well coated with the creamy pesto mixture.
Garnish with freshly torn basil leaves and mixed herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve warm.
