INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
50 g Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1.5 tbsp Pesto Sauce
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to boil, add the whole wheat pasta and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked. Once done, let it rest before slicing.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the pesto sauce to warm it slightly. Stir in the cooked pasta until evenly coated with the pesto.
Add halved cherry tomatoes to the pasta and gently mix to combine all ingredients.
Plate the creamy pesto pasta, arrange the sliced chicken on top, and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Enjoy your balanced and flavorful meal!
