PREPARATION

  • 1

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  • 2

    Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and lightly browned. Once done, slice the chicken into strips.
