INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup dry Whole Wheat Penne Pasta
1/2 cup Crushed Tomatoes
1/4 cup Light Half-and-Half
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
Handful Fresh Basil
Salt and Pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic clove (minced) and sauté briefly until fragrant.
Place the chicken breast in the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove from pan and let rest before slicing.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the crushed tomatoes. Stir in the light half-and-half to create a silky tomato cream sauce. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Toss the cooked penne into the sauce ensuring it’s well coated.
Slice the chicken breast and serve it on top of the creamy penne. Garnish with fresh basil and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
