If you haven't figured it out yet...this is an easy, fool-proof, flexible dish. My standard calorie and saturated fat decreasing tactic is to substitute Fat Free half & half with some flour or cornstarch. I will give up some flavor for the healthier aspect. At least pesto is made from "good oil" (Olive). Next I add vegetables like brocolli, mushrooms, and onion (others mention sun-dried tomatoes) etc, maybe more garlic and use a whole wheat or Omega 3 boosted pasta of my choice (used rotini as pictured). I like adding some garlic and Smart Balance Light sauteed Prawns with the chicken (or alone...). Another option is smoked salmon by itself, or with the chicken and/or prawns (like I said...flexible). Do anything else you like...experiment, you can't go wrong if you put stuff you like in it!!!
