Pesto Chicken & Polenta
I needed to come up with a few ways to use the pesto I made and decided it was a great flavor enhancer for chicken. Plus, did you know that those polenta tubes at the supermarket and at Trader Joes are 1 pt per serving? Two and a half slices is a serving, but who makes a half slice? I served the pesto chicken with the polenta slices and it was great! If you want, you can use a store-bought sauce, but make sure you count the points correctly.
Pesto Chicken & Polenta
Serves 2
8 ounces skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into strips
1 1/2 tablespoons Pesto Sauce
6 slices basil-flavored Polenta, cut from a tube
Combine the chicken in a bowl with the pesto sauce. Spray a medium skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Heat over medium heat. Add the chicken and pesto sauce. Cook until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm. Add the polenta slices. Cook until browned, turning frequently, about 3 minutes. Serve chicken with the polenta slices.
(Each serving is 5.5 pts.)
