INGREDIENTS
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil, chopped
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the cherry tomatoes on a baking tray, drizzle with a small amount of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 15 minutes until they begin to burst.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a small amount of pasta water.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear the chicken over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes per side until thoroughly cooked. Once cooked, slice into bite-size pieces.
In a large pan, heat the teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the roasted cherry tomatoes (with their juices) to the pan along with the chopped fresh basil. Stir in the cooked pasta and chicken pieces, tossing to combine. If needed, add a splash of reserved pasta water to moisten the dish.
Taste and adjust seasonings with additional salt and pepper if desired before serving.
