INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 tbsp Basil Pesto
1 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
1/2 cup halved Cherry Tomatoes
2 tbsp chopped Fresh Basil and Parsley
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden. Once cooked, let it rest and slice into strips.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the basil pesto and light cream cheese. Stir well until you form a creamy sauce.
Toss the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto sauce until evenly coated.
Gently fold in the halved cherry tomatoes and chopped fresh basil and parsley to the pasta.
Plate the pesto pasta and top with sliced chicken breast.
Garnish with a few extra herbs if desired and serve warm.
