INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
2 tablespoons Pesto Sauce
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1/2 cup Fresh Spinach
1 tablespoon Fresh Basil
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper, then grill or pan-sear over medium heat until fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes per side. Let it rest before slicing.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta with pesto sauce, ensuring the pasta is evenly coated.
Add in the fresh spinach and halved cherry tomatoes, gently folding them into the pasta for bursts of color and flavor.
Slice the chicken breast into strips or bite-sized pieces and toss with the pasta mixture.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves, and serve warm for a comforting and balanced meal.
