INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 tbsp Reduced-Fat Cream Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the chicken breast. Sear the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side, until golden brown and fully cooked.
While the chicken is cooking, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small saucepan, add the tomato sauce and minced garlic. Simmer over low heat for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the reduced-fat cream cheese until you achieve a creamy consistency.
Combine the cooked pasta with the creamy tomato sauce, stirring gently to coat evenly.
Slice the pan-seared chicken breast and place it atop the pasta. Garnish with fresh basil.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
