INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 tablespoon Basil Pesto
5 Cherry Tomatoes
2 sprigs Fresh Basil
1/2 teaspoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked. Once done, let it rest and then slice into strips.
In a mixing bowl, toss the warm pasta with the basil pesto until evenly coated.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and gently fold them into the pasta along with the sliced chicken.
Plate the mixture, garnish with fresh basil sprigs, and drizzle a touch of olive oil over the top for added flavor.
