INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)

PREPARATION
Heat a non-stick grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.

Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente, then drain.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the low-fat cream cheese and fresh basil pesto, stirring until smooth and slightly heated.
In a large bowl, toss the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto sauce, cherry tomatoes, and fresh spinach.
Gently fold in the grilled chicken slices and sprinkle with fresh basil for an extra herbaceous finish.
Serve immediately, enjoying balanced flavors in each bite.
