INGREDIENTS
2 oz Grilled Chicken Breast
3/4 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/8 portion Avocado
1 tbsp Fresh Basil (chopped)
1 tbsp Lime Juice
PREPARATION
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper, and grill for about 4-5 minutes per side until fully cooked. Allow it to rest before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cool water to stop the cooking process.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped fresh basil, and a small diced portion of avocado.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and lime juice over the salad and toss gently to coat.
Add the sliced grilled chicken and toss again to mix the flavors evenly. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor, enjoying the blend of zesty, herby, and lightly Mexican-inspired notes.
