INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tbsp Homemade Pesto Sauce
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a non-stick pan, heat olive oil over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until thoroughly cooked. Once done, let it rest before slicing.
While the chicken cooks, prepare whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the homemade pesto sauce with fresh basil and parsley to release their flavors, then toss this mixture with the cooked pasta.
Slice the cooked chicken breast into strips and gently fold into the pasta, ensuring even distribution of the pesto sauce.
Plate the pasta with chicken and garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm for a delightful meal.
