Savor the delight of tender, pan-seared chicken paired with whole wheat penne enveloped in a velvety, tomato-based cream sauce. This balanced dish bursts with flavor and nourishes with lean protein and whole grains—perfect for a hearty dinner.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Penne Pasta (cooked)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup Half & Half
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
Optional: 3 fresh Basil leaves
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until cooked through and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
In the same skillet, add the tomato sauce and half & half. Stir well and allow the sauce to warm through, letting the flavors meld together.
Add the cooked penne to the skillet with the sauce, tossing to coat evenly.
Slice the chicken breast and place it on top of the creamy pasta. Optionally, garnish with fresh basil leaves for an added burst of flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced meal.
