Creamy Pesto Chicken with Whole Wheat Pasta
Enjoy a light yet satisfying dish featuring tender, juicy chicken breast tossed with whole wheat pasta and enveloped in a vibrant, creamy pesto sauce. The dish balances the herbaceous punch of pesto with a silky cream finish, making it a delightful option for a nutrient-packed meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tbsp Pesto Sauce
2 tbsp Low-Fat Cream
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
Salt & Pepper
PREPARATION
Begin by seasoning the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and lightly browned.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions, then drain.
Lower the heat to medium and add the pesto sauce to the pan along with the low-fat cream, stirring to combine into a creamy sauce.
Slice the cooked chicken and toss it with the pasta. Pour the pesto cream sauce over the chicken and pasta, stirring gently to coat evenly.
Top the dish with grated parmesan cheese and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed before serving.
