Creamy Chicken Pesto Pasta with Fresh Spinach
A vibrant and satisfying dish featuring tender grilled chicken breast tossed with whole wheat pasta, fresh spinach, and a delectably creamy pesto sauce enhanced with a touch of low‐fat cream cheese. This dish delivers a harmonious balance of flavors, perfect for a nutritious yet indulgent meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tbsp Pesto Sauce
1 cup Fresh Spinach
2 tbsp Low-Fat Cream Cheese
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add whole wheat pasta. Cook according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear over medium heat until fully cooked and golden on the outside, about 6-7 minutes per side. Once cooked, slice the chicken into strips.
In a large bowl, combine the hot pasta with the pesto sauce and low-fat cream cheese. Stir well until the sauce becomes creamy and evenly coats the pasta.
Fold in the fresh spinach and sliced chicken. The residual heat will slightly wilt the spinach, enhancing its flavor and texture.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary, then serve warm.
