INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
1 tbsp Basil Pesto
1/2 cup Mixed Roasted Vegetables
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F for roasting the vegetables.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper, then grill or pan-sear it over medium heat until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes per side.
While the chicken cooks, toss your mixed vegetables (such as cherry tomatoes, zucchini, and bell peppers) with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 15-20 minutes.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the light cream cheese with the basil pesto, stirring until smooth and heated through to form a creamy sauce.
Slice the cooked chicken breast into strips.
In a large bowl, mix the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto sauce and gently fold in the roasted vegetables.
Top the pasta with the sliced chicken and serve warm.
