INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
2 tablespoons Pesto Sauce
1/4 medium Avocado
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil, chopped
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved
PREPARATION
Cook whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked. Allow it to rest and then slice into strips.
In a blender or food processor, combine the avocado with the pesto sauce. Blend until the mixture is creamy. If needed, thin out the sauce with a splash of pasta water.
In a large bowl, toss the cooked pasta with the avocado-pesto sauce, ensuring an even coating.
Gently fold in the sliced chicken, fresh basil, and halved cherry tomatoes.
Serve warm, garnished with a few extra basil leaves if desired.
