INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1 tbsp Pesto Sauce
1/4 cup Cherry Tomatoes (quartered)
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
2 tbsp Fresh Basil (chopped)
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked. Once done, let it rest and then slice into strips.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta in a pot of boiling, salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a small splash of pasta water.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the pesto sauce. If needed, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to help evenly coat the pasta.
Gently fold in the sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, and chopped fresh basil. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
Toss gently to combine all flavors and serve immediately.
