Enjoy a vibrant and healthful dish featuring tender pan-seared chicken breast tossed with whole wheat pasta and a fresh homemade pesto sauce. The aromatic basil and garlic blend seamlessly with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of parmesan, creating a satisfying meal that's as nutritious as it is flavorful.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Fresh Basil
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, pat the chicken breast dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the chicken breast and sear for about 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden.
In a food processor or blender, combine the fresh basil, garlic, and olive oil to create a rough pesto. Optionally, add a pinch of salt and a little water if needed to blend smoothly.
Slice the pan-seared chicken into strips. Toss the cooked pasta with the fresh pesto until well coated.
Plate the pesto pasta and top with sliced chicken. Garnish with grated parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
