INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Roasted Zucchini
1/2 tablespoon Fresh Basil Pesto
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup Cherry Tomatoes
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss sliced zucchini with a light drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread on a baking sheet. Roast for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly browned.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear over medium heat for about 5-6 minutes per side until cooked through and golden.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the fresh basil pesto and mix until evenly coated. Add halved cherry tomatoes for an extra pop of flavor.
Slice the cooked chicken breast and place on top of the pasta. Arrange the roasted zucchini around the plate and sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan over the dish.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
