INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz dry Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tbsp Low-Fat Cream Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup Low Sodium Chicken Broth
1 Lemon (juice and zest)
1 clove Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley and Basil)
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta as per package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Mince the garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Add it to the skillet and cook until golden and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Once cooked, slice the chicken into strips.
Lower the heat and add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the skillet. Stir in the low-fat cream cheese until a smooth creamy sauce forms.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat thoroughly with the sauce. Mix in the sliced chicken and chopped fresh herbs.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired, then serve warm.
