INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes
1 tbsp Tomato Paste
1 oz Low-Fat Cream Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add the chicken.
Cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden, then remove and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the tomato paste and diced tomatoes. Allow to simmer for 3-4 minutes to meld the flavors.
Mix in the low-fat cream cheese and chopped fresh basil, stirring until the sauce becomes creamy.
Return the sliced chicken to the skillet, then add the cooked pasta. Toss everything together to thoroughly coat with the sauce.
Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh basil if desired.
