Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Fresh Herbs
Savor the rich and vibrant flavors of tender chicken breast tossed with whole wheat pasta in a luscious, creamy pesto sauce. Fresh basil, garlic, and a hint of spinach and cherry tomatoes elevate this dish, making it a perfect balance of nutrition and indulgence.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
2 tbsp Pesto Sauce
1/4 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1/2 cup Fresh Spinach
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Begin by seasoning the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet, sauté the chicken over medium heat until cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and let it rest.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and toast until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Stir in the cooked whole wheat pasta, light cream cheese, and pesto sauce. Mix well until the sauce is creamy and coats the pasta evenly.
Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces and return it to the skillet with the pasta sauce.
Gently fold in the fresh spinach, cherry tomatoes, and torn fresh basil leaves. Let the residual heat wilt the spinach slightly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then plate your creamy pesto chicken pasta. Serve warm and enjoy!
