Creamy Basil Pesto Chicken with Roasted Tomatoes
Savor tender chicken breast layered with a silky basil pesto cream sauce and complemented by sweet roasted cherry tomatoes. This dish balances the richness of pesto with a hint of tangy creaminess, creating an unforgettable flavor combination perfect for dinner.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1/4 cup Fresh Basil (chopped)
1 tbsp Basil Pesto
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
On a baking tray, toss the cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 15 minutes until they soften and begin to blister.
While the tomatoes roast, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
In a small bowl, mix the basil pesto with light cream cheese until well combined, then fold in the chopped fresh basil.
Once the chicken is cooked, reduce the heat to low and spoon the creamy pesto mixture over the chicken, letting it warm up gently to create a silky sauce.
Plate the chicken, drizzle with any remaining sauce from the pan, and top with roasted cherry tomatoes. Serve immediately.
