Healthy Pesto Chicken Whole Wheat Pasta
Savor a vibrant twist on classic pasta with tender, grilled chicken tossed in a fresh, homemade basil pesto alongside whole wheat pasta. This dish is brightened up with juicy cherry tomatoes and baby spinach, delivering a well-rounded meal that's both nutritious and flavorful.
INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
2 tablespoons Homemade Basil Pesto
0.5 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 cup Baby Spinach
PREPARATION
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper.
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and juices run clear. Let it rest briefly, then slice into strips.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large bowl, toss the warm pasta with the homemade basil pesto until well coated.
Gently fold in the baby spinach and halved cherry tomatoes, letting the residual heat slightly wilt the greens.
Top the pasta with the sliced chicken, serve immediately, and enjoy your healthy, flavorsome meal.
