INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1.5 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 tablespoon Basil Pesto
1 tablespoon Light Cream
1/2 cup Zucchini (sliced)
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper (sliced)
1/2 cup Red Onion (sliced)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Season the chicken breast with your favorite spices and a pinch of salt, then either grill or sear in a non-stick pan until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F). Slice the chicken once rested.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the basil pesto and light cream to create a creamy sauce.
On a baking sheet, toss the sliced zucchini, red bell pepper, and red onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Combine the cooked pasta with the pesto cream sauce, then gently fold in the roasted vegetables.
Serve the creamy pesto pasta with roasted vegetables topped with sliced chicken breast. Enjoy a balanced and flavorful meal!
