INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 medium Fresh Tomato
1/4 cup Fresh Basil (chopped)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
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.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and sear for about 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is cooking, dice the fresh tomato and roughly chop the basil.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
In the same skillet, add the diced tomato and sauté for 1-2 minutes to slightly soften it.
Add the cooked pasta and fresh basil to the skillet, gently tossing to combine all ingredients.
Plate the pasta, then top with the sliced chicken. Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired, and serve warm.
