Creamy Tomato Basil Chicken with Whole Wheat Pasta
Savor the vibrant flavors of tender chicken breast paired with a velvety tomato basil sauce, mingled with whole wheat pasta for a satisfying, balanced meal. The creamy texture from a splash of half-and-half elevates the aromatic tomato sauce, while fresh basil adds a burst of herbaceous brightness.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/2 cup Crushed Tomato Sauce
2 tbsp Half-and-Half
1 tsp Olive Oil
5 Fresh Basil leaves
2 Garlic cloves
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and sear for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the crushed tomato sauce and add half-and-half. Stir to combine and let simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Tear fresh basil leaves and stir them into the sauce.
Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken to the skillet, gently mixing to ensure everything is well coated with the creamy tomato basil sauce.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed, and serve warm.
