Enjoy a vibrant plate featuring tender, spicy grilled chicken paired with whole wheat pasta and a colorful medley of sautéed vegetables. The dish is perfectly balanced with a kick of heat from red pepper flakes, creating an exciting flavor profile that satisfies both taste and nutritional goals.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper (chopped)
1/2 cup Zucchini (sliced)
1/4 cup Yellow Onion (chopped)
1 Garlic Clove (minced)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/4 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted 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 with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick. Grill or pan-sear the chicken on medium-high heat until cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Once done, let it rest and slice into strips.
In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, chopped red bell pepper, zucchini, and yellow onion. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, about 4-5 minutes.
Combine the cooked pasta with the sautéed vegetables in the pan. Toss gently to mix well, allowing the flavors to meld.
Plate the pasta and vegetable mixture, then top with sliced spicy chicken breast. Optionally, sprinkle additional red pepper flakes on top if a spicier flavor is desired.
