Creamy Chicken Pesto Whole Wheat Pasta
Savor the fusion of tender chicken breast with whole wheat pasta elegantly tossed in a vibrant basil pesto, accented by fresh cherry tomatoes and spinach. This dish brings a harmonious blend of flavors and textures that's both refreshing and satisfying.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1 tablespoon Basil Pesto
1/4 cup Cherry Tomatoes (quartered)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked and lightly browned. Slice the chicken into strips once rested.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, in a mixing bowl, toss the hot pasta with the basil pesto ensuring even coating.
Gently fold in the halved cherry tomatoes and fresh spinach so the spinach wilts slightly from the heat of the pasta.
Plate the pesto pasta mixture and top with the sliced chicken. Serve warm for a balanced, satisfying meal.
