INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
2 ounces Light Cream Cheese
1 tablespoon Pesto
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 tablespoon Fresh Mixed Herbs
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken breast until browned and cooked through, approximately 5-6 minutes per side. Remove and let rest before slicing into strips.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
In a saucepan over low heat, combine the light cream cheese and pesto, stirring until smooth and heated through.
Mix the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto sauce, then gently toss in the fresh spinach until slightly wilted.
Plate the pasta mixture, top with sliced chicken breast, and garnish with fresh mixed herbs for an aromatic finish.
