INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Asparagus
1 tbsp Basil Pesto
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F for roasting the asparagus.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken breast until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove and slice into strips.
Toss the asparagus with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and arrange them on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy at the edges.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the light cream cheese and basil pesto, stirring until a smooth, creamy sauce forms.
Mix the pasta with the creamy pesto sauce, then gently fold in the sliced chicken and roasted asparagus.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
