INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
0.75 cup cooked Whole Wheat Penne Pasta
2 tbsp Homemade Pesto Sauce
1 tbsp Fresh Basil, chopped
PREPARATION
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with olive oil.
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper, then cook it in the skillet over medium-high heat until fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes per side. Once cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the homemade pesto sauce, ensuring the sauce evenly coats the pasta.
Add the sliced chicken on top of the pasta, then gently toss to mix together.
Finish off with a garnish of freshly chopped basil for an extra burst of flavor before serving.
