Enjoy a vibrant, satisfying dish featuring tender chicken breast tossed with whole wheat pasta, fresh spinach, and a luxurious creamy pesto sauce that melds the flavors of basil, pine nuts, and a hint of Parmesan, delivering a delightful balance of textures and a burst of aromatic herbal goodness.
INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Chicken Breast
0.5 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 ounce Low-Fat Cream Cheese
1 tablespoon Pesto Sauce
1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan Cheese
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a skillet, warm a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat and lightly sauté the fresh spinach until just wilted; set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Sauté or grill the chicken until it is fully cooked and has a golden exterior. Once cooked, slice into strips or bite-sized pieces.
In a small saucepan, combine the low-fat cream cheese with the pesto sauce over low heat, stirring continuously until the sauce is smooth and slightly warmed. If needed, add a splash of water or broth to thin the sauce consistency.
Toss together the warm pasta, sautéed spinach, and sliced chicken. Drizzle the creamy pesto sauce over the mixture and gently mix until well combined.
Plate the dish and finish with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately and enjoy the harmonious blend of flavors and textures.
