INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
2/3 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
2 tablespoons Homemade Pesto Sauce
1/2 cup Roasted Broccoli
1/2 cup Roasted Cherry Tomatoes
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Prepare the vegetables by chopping broccoli (and zucchini if desired) and halving the cherry tomatoes. Toss them with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes until tender and lightly caramelized.
Meanwhile, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear the chicken over medium-high heat until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, then let it rest and slice into strips.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large bowl, toss the warm pasta with the homemade pesto sauce until evenly coated.
Combine the sliced chicken, roasted vegetables, and pesto pasta on a plate. Serve warm and enjoy your fresh, balanced meal.
