INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
2 tablespoons Pesto Sauce
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
5 Fresh Basil Leaves
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Sauté the chicken breast for 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and browned on the outside.
Slice the cooked chicken into bite-sized strips.
In a large bowl, combine the warm pasta with the pesto sauce, stirring well to evenly coat the pasta.
Gently fold in the sliced chicken so that it is well mixed with the pasta and pesto.
Plate the dish and garnish with fresh basil leaves for an aromatic finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy, herbaceous flavors.
