INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 oz Low-Fat Cream Cheese
1 tbsp Basil Pesto
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/2 medium Zucchini
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, then roast on a baking sheet for 18-20 minutes until cooked through. Once done, let it rest and then slice into strips.
While the chicken is roasting, chop the red bell pepper and zucchini into bite-sized pieces. Toss them lightly in olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them on a baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Cook the whole wheat pasta as per package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the low-fat cream cheese and basil pesto. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Toss the pasta with the creamy pesto sauce, adding the roasted vegetables and sliced chicken breast. Mix gently until all components are well combined.
Serve warm, adjusting salt and pepper to taste.
