Savor succulent chicken breast tossed in a vibrant basil pesto, paired with hearty whole wheat pasta and crispy roasted broccoli for a balanced, satisfying meal.

INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
0.75 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Broccoli
2 tbsp Basil Pesto
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for roasting the broccoli.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a hot skillet, sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden, then finish cooking in the oven at 375°F for about 10-12 minutes or until fully cooked.
While the chicken cooks, toss broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated 425°F oven for 15-20 minutes until edges are crispy and slightly caramelized.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
In a bowl, combine the cooked pasta with basil pesto, stirring to evenly coat.
Slice the cooked chicken breast and plate it alongside the pesto pasta and roasted broccoli.
Drizzle any remaining pesto over the chicken for added flavor, and serve immediately.
