INGREDIENTS
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta
3 ounces Chicken Breast
2 tablespoons Creamy Basil Pesto
6 spears Asparagus
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic, minced
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for roasting the asparagus.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine lemon juice and minced garlic. Add the chicken breast slices to the marinade and let sit for at least 10 minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the marinated chicken until golden and completely cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
Meanwhile, drizzle the asparagus with olive oil, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and arrange on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
In a large bowl, toss the cooked pasta with the creamy basil pesto until evenly coated.
Plate the pesto pasta, top with slices of lemon-garlic chicken, and serve with a side of roasted asparagus.
