INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
0.5 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
0.25 cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes (in oil, drained)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
2 tablespoons Light Cream Cheese
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
2 sprigs Fresh Basil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Cook whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the 4-ounce chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a pan over medium heat, add the olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté the garlic until fragrant, then add the chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until thoroughly cooked.
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest. In the same pan, add the sun-dried tomatoes and a splash of water or chicken broth to deglaze, stirring to combine the flavors.
Stir in the light cream cheese until melted, creating a light, creamy sauce. Toss in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt slightly.
Slice the cooked chicken breast and add it back to the pan along with the drained whole wheat pasta. Gently mix everything together, letting the flavors meld.
Finish with fresh basil leaves, adjust salt and pepper as needed, and serve warm.
