INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 cup Broccoli
1 tbsp Basil Pesto
1 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss the broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread onto a baking tray.
Roast the broccoli in the oven for about 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add a bit of olive oil and sear the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden brown.
In a small bowl, combine the basil pesto with light cream cheese, stirring until smooth to create a creamy pesto sauce.
Toss the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto sauce until evenly coated.
Plate the pasta, then slice the pan-seared chicken and arrange on top. Serve with the roasted broccoli on the side.
