Creamy Garlic Chicken Pesto Pasta
Enjoy a vibrant, creamy pasta dish featuring tender chicken breast, al dente whole wheat pasta, and a sauce infused with garlic and basil pesto. Enhanced with a touch of low-fat cream cheese and fresh spinach, this meal delivers a balanced profile that is both satisfying and colorful.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 tbsp Basil Pesto
2 tbsp Low-Fat Cream Cheese
2 cloves Garlic
1 cup raw Spinach
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper, then heat a non-stick pan and cook it over medium heat until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes per side. Once done, slice it into bite-size pieces.
In the same pan, add a bit more garlic (minced from the 2 cloves) and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the cooked whole wheat pasta to the pan along with the basil pesto and low-fat cream cheese. Stir to create a creamy sauce, allowing the cream cheese to melt and combine with the pesto.
Toss in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt slightly, about 1-2 minutes.
Mix in the sliced chicken breast and gently combine all ingredients so that the flavors meld.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm and enjoy your creamy garlic chicken pesto pasta.
