Creamy Pesto Chicken Whole Wheat Pasta
Enjoy a vibrant twist on classic pasta with tender chicken, whole wheat pasta, and a luxuriously creamy pesto sauce. This dish is perfect for any meal with its fresh burst of cherry tomatoes and spinach, providing a satisfying balance of protein and whole grains.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tbsp Pesto Sauce
2 tbsp Low-Fat Cream Cheese
1/2 cup halved Cherry Tomatoes
1 cup Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil over medium heat in a skillet and sauté the chicken breast until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side depending on thickness. Remove and let rest.
In the meantime, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Slice the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, combine the pesto sauce and low-fat cream cheese, stirring until smooth and well blended.
Return the chicken to the skillet over low-medium heat, add the pesto cream mixture and gently stir to coat the chicken pieces.
Toss in the cooked pasta, spinach, and cherry tomatoes. Mix well until the spinach wilts slightly, about 1-2 minutes.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed, then serve warm.
