PREPARATION

  • 1

    Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, lightly sear the chicken until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center, about 5-6 minutes per side. Once cooked, let it rest briefly and then slice into strips.

  • 2

    Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  • 3

    In a small saucepan, gently warm the low-fat half & half with the basil pesto, stirring well to create a light, creamy sauce. Avoid boiling to preserve the creaminess.

  • 4

    Combine the cooked pasta and sliced chicken in a large bowl. Pour the warm pesto cream sauce over the mixture and toss to evenly coat.

  • 5

    Fold in the fresh spinach, allowing the residual heat from the pasta and chicken to gently wilt the leaves.

  • 6

    Season with additional salt and pepper if desired, and serve immediately.
