A vibrant, satisfying dish featuring tender chicken, whole wheat pasta enveloped in a light creamy pesto sauce, bright blistered tomatoes, and fresh spinach. Every bite offers a layered combination of savory, tangy, and herbal notes perfect for a wholesome meal.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
½ cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tbsp Low-Fat Cream Cheese
1 tbsp Light Basil Pesto
½ cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 cup Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
Bring a pot of water to boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and continue cooking until they begin to blister, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the spinach and cook until just wilted.
Reduce the heat to low and mix in the low-fat cream cheese and pesto, stirring until you achieve a creamy sauce.
Combine the cooked pasta with the creamy chicken and vegetable mixture, tossing gently to coat the pasta evenly.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed, and serve warm.
