INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 tbsp Pesto Sauce
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
2 tbsp Fresh Basil & Parsley
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet, cook the chicken over medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden on the outside.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
In a small bowl, blend the pesto sauce with light cream cheese until smooth, creating a creamy sauce.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips and combine with the drained pasta in a large bowl.
Pour the creamy pesto mixture over the chicken and pasta, tossing gently until evenly coated.
Add halved cherry tomatoes and freshly chopped basil and parsley to the mixture. Toss lightly to incorporate the fresh herbs.
Serve immediately and enjoy the balanced medley of flavors.
