Creamy Pesto Chicken with Roasted Tomato Pasta
Enjoy a delightful fusion of flavors with tender grilled chicken, hearty whole wheat pasta enveloped in a creamy pesto sauce, and sweet roasted tomatoes. This dish offers a vibrant, satisfying meal that balances savory chicken and fresh, zesty tomato notes with the rich aroma of basil and pine nuts from the pesto.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
2 tbsp Pesto Sauce
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 Garlic Cloves
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and toss them with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.
While the tomatoes roast, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill or sauté over medium heat until fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes per side, then slice into strips.
Prepare whole wheat pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta with pesto sauce. Toss to ensure an even coating.
Gently fold in the roasted tomatoes and top with the sliced chicken breast.
Serve immediately while warm, garnished with fresh basil if desired.
