INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 tablespoon Basil Pesto
1/2 cup halved Cherry Tomatoes
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, add a teaspoon of olive oil and sear the chicken on both sides until lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Place the seared chicken in the preheated oven and roast for 12-15 minutes, or until fully cooked.
While the chicken is roasting, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and toss them with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 10 minutes until they begin to soften and caramelize.
Slice the roasted chicken into strips or bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the pasta, sliced chicken, roasted cherry tomatoes, and basil pesto. Toss gently until the ingredients are evenly coated.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, protein-packed meal.
