INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 cup Roasted Red Peppers
2 tbsp Low-Fat Cream Cheese
2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Start by preheating your grill or grill pan on medium-high heat.
Season the 4 oz chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked. Once done, slice into strips.
While the chicken is grilling, bring a pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Cook the 2 oz whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain.
In a pan over medium heat, add 2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil. Sauté 2 minced garlic cloves until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the roasted red peppers to the pan and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of low-fat cream cheese until it melts and coats the peppers, creating a creamy sauce. Season with a little salt and pepper.
Combine the drained pasta with the creamy roasted red pepper sauce, tossing gently to coat well.
Plate the pasta and top with the sliced grilled chicken. Serve warm and enjoy a delicious, balanced meal.
