INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Grain Penne Pasta (cooked)
1 medium Fresh Tomato
5 Fresh Basil Leaves
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Pat the chicken breast dry and season with salt, black pepper, and a few torn basil leaves for extra herb flavor.
Place the chicken on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until fully cooked through. Let it rest before slicing.
While the chicken roasts, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole grain penne according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
For the sauce, heat the olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Chop the fresh tomato and add it to the pan along with the remaining basil leaves. Let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes to meld the flavors, then season with salt and pepper.
Toss the cooked penne with the fresh tomato basil sauce until well combined. Serve the sliced herb-roasted chicken over the pasta or alongside it.
Enjoy your nutritious and flavorful meal!
