This would be a great dish to really make your own. As I was putting it together I kept thinking of different things I could do to modify it in the future, like adding some cherry tomatoes or bacon. Maybe topping it with a little extra shredded parmesan. It's just around 300 calories, so as long as you don't go crazy you can add a few extras and still have it fit into your diet.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
1 cup fresh spinach
1/2 cup fresh shredded parmesan
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 boneless skinless chicke breast, diced
3 cups cooked spaghetti noodles

Directions
Combine the basil, spinach, parmesan, garlic and onion powders together in a food processor, blend until smooth.
In a large frying pan, cook the chicken breast until lightly browned. Add the pesto and spaghetti noodles, stir until well mixed. You may have to add a little water so the pesto coats the spaghetti and chicken better (use the water used to cook the pasta).
