INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1/2 cup Cucumber
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Fresh Basil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and chopped fresh basil.
Place the chicken on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until fully cooked. Once done, let it rest and then slice into strips or bite-sized pieces.
While the chicken is roasting, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Chop the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red bell pepper into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and pepper to create a light dressing.
Combine the cooked pasta, roasted chicken, and chopped vegetables in the mixing bowl. Drizzle the dressing over and gently toss to combine.
Finish with a sprinkling of fresh basil on top. Serve immediately or chill for a refreshing cold salad.
