INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1 oz Light Cream Cheese
1 tbsp Basil Pesto
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the whole wheat pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
While the pasta is cooking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper, then cook for about 4-5 minutes per side until cooked through and golden.
Slice the cooked chicken into bite-sized strips or cubes.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the light cream cheese and basil pesto. Stir continuously until a creamy sauce forms, about 2 minutes.
Toss the drained pasta with the creamy pesto sauce. Then gently mix in the sliced chicken, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Serve warm and enjoy this flavorful, balanced meal.
