Enjoy a balanced plate featuring tender pan-seared chicken paired with al dente whole wheat pasta tossed in a light, creamy pesto sauce and accompanied by perfectly roasted broccoli. This meal offers a delightful blend of flavors and textures, from the savory sear on the chicken to the fresh, vibrant pesto and the slight crunch of the roasted broccoli.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta, cooked
1 cup Roasted Broccoli
2 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Creamy Pesto Sauce
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for the broccoli.
Toss chopped broccoli with 1 tsp olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown.
While the chicken cooks, prepare whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the creamy pesto sauce with the warm pasta and toss to evenly coat.
Slice the chicken breast and serve it on top of the pesto pasta with a side of roasted broccoli.
