Pan-Seared Chicken with Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Whole Wheat Pasta
Savor tender pan-seared chicken paired with whole wheat pasta tossed in a luscious, creamy sun-dried tomato sauce. This dish is enhanced with garlic, spinach, and a hint of olive oil, creating a satisfying and nutrient-dense meal perfect for a balanced dinner.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1/4 cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes (rehydrated)
1 oz Low-Fat Cream Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 cup Fresh Spinach
Salt & Pepper (to taste)
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 and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and sear the chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden on the outside. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sun-dried tomatoes and a splash of water (or chicken broth if desired) to the skillet, stirring to combine.
Stir in the low-fat cream cheese until it melts and creates a creamy sauce, then add the fresh spinach and cook for another minute until just wilted.
Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss to coat with the creamy tomato mixture.
Slice the rested chicken breast and serve atop or alongside the pasta. Adjust salt and pepper to taste, then enjoy your delicious, balanced meal.
