INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1/2 medium Lemon
1 tbsp Basil Pesto
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
In a separate pot, prepare whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta is cooking, squeeze the juice from half a lemon over the cooked chicken for a burst of citrus flavor.
Toss the warm pasta with basil pesto until evenly coated.
Slice the seared chicken and serve on top of the pesto pasta.
Garnish with a little extra lemon zest or fresh basil if desired, and enjoy your balanced meal.
