Chicken with Creamy Pesto Whole Wheat Pasta
Savor a delightful combination of tender, lean chicken breast paired with whole wheat pasta, enveloped in a silky, creamy pesto sauce. This dish blends the freshness of basil with the richness of light cream cheese and a hint of olive oil, making it a vibrant, satisfying meal that's as nourishing as it is flavorful.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
50 grams (dry) Whole Wheat Pasta
1 tablespoon Light Cream Cheese
15 grams Fresh Basil Leaves
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Sauté the chicken in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes per side. Once cooked, slice it into strips.
In a food processor or blender, combine fresh basil leaves, garlic, light cream cheese, and olive oil. Blend until a smooth, creamy pesto forms. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Mix the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto sauce until evenly coated.
Plate the pesto pasta and top with sliced chicken breast. Serve immediately.
