This Creamy Pesto Chicken with Roasted Tomatoes feels indulgent but is still a nutritious option to end your challenge. The creamy pesto sauce provides rich flavour without being too heavy, and roasted cherry tomatoes add a burst of freshness. It’s the perfect dish to reward yourself while staying aligned with your fitness goals.
Ingredients:
Serves 4
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 200g cherry tomatoes
- 100g fresh spinach
- 100g light cream cheese
- 2 tbsp pesto
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 200°C. Toss the cherry tomatoes with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast for 15 minutes, or until they start to blister.
- While the tomatoes are roasting, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat and cook the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side.
- In the same pan, reduce the heat to low, and stir in the minced garlic. Add the light cream cheese and pesto, stirring until the mixture becomes creamy.
- Stir in the fresh spinach until wilted, and then return the cooked chicken to the pan, coating it with the creamy pesto sauce.
- Serve the chicken with the roasted tomatoes on the side, topped with a little extra pesto if desired.
Serving Suggestions:
- Wholemeal Pasta: For a comforting side, serve the chicken over wholemeal pasta for extra fibre.
- Quinoa: A lighter option to keep the dish balanced, adding more protein and nutrients to round out the meal.
- Garlic Bread: If you’re feeling a little indulgent, a slice of garlic bread can make this meal feel even more special.
