INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
2 tablespoons Basil Pesto
1 tablespoon Light Cream
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium-high heat, sear the chicken for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Place the seared chicken on a baking tray and transfer to the oven. Roast for 12-15 minutes or until fully cooked.
While the chicken roasts, toss the cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a separate baking tray and roast in the oven for about 10 minutes until they soften and begin to caramelize.
In a small saucepan, combine the basil pesto and light cream over low heat until smooth and heated through.
Mix the warm pesto cream sauce with the cooked whole wheat pasta in a bowl.
Slice the roasted chicken and plate over the pasta, then top with the roasted tomatoes.
Finish with a final drizzle of pesto cream if desired and serve immediately.
