INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 cup Mixed Roasted Vegetables
1.5 tbsp Pesto Sauce
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss your choice of mixed vegetables (such as zucchini, bell peppers, carrots, or broccoli) in a small amount of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 20 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the vegetables are roasting, 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 with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and nicely browned. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, roasted vegetables, and sliced chicken. Drizzle the pesto sauce over the top and gently toss the mixture until everything is evenly coated.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, nutrient-rich dinner!
