INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 tbsp Basil Pesto
1 cup Fresh Spinach
2 tbsp Low-Fat Cream
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear over medium-high heat until cooked through (about 4-5 minutes per side). Once cooked, slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
In a large pan over medium heat, add the low-fat cream and basil pesto, stirring to combine into a smooth sauce.
Add the cooked pasta to the pan with the pesto sauce and toss to coat evenly.
Gently fold in the fresh spinach and sliced chicken, letting the residual heat wilt the spinach slightly.
Serve immediately, enjoying a harmonious balance of flavors and textures in every bite.
