INGREDIENTS
3.5 ounces Chicken Breast (100g)
1 ounce Whole Wheat Pasta (28g)
2 tablespoons Light Pesto Sauce (30g)
5 Cherry Tomatoes
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil
PREPARATION
Begin by cooking the whole wheat pasta in a pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with your favorite herbs and a pinch of salt. In a non-stick skillet, cook the chicken over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and golden on the outside.
While the chicken is cooking, halve the cherry tomatoes and roughly chop the fresh basil.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the light pesto sauce with a small splash of water or chicken broth to create a creamy consistency. Stir continuously until warmed through.
Slice the cooked chicken breast into strips.
In a serving bowl, toss the pasta with the warmed pesto cream sauce, add the sliced chicken, and mix in the cherry tomatoes.
Garnish with fresh basil before serving to add a burst of color and aroma.
