Pan-Seared Chicken with Fresh Pesto Whole Wheat Pasta
Savor tender pan-seared chicken paired with a light, zesty fresh pesto tossed into whole wheat pasta. This dish offers a harmonious blend of flavors with juicy, well-seasoned chicken, nutty pasta, and the vibrant aroma of basil pesto, accented by a hint of sweet cherry tomatoes.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 tbsp Fresh Basil Pesto
1/4 cup Cherry Tomatoes
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a touch of olive oil if desired.
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a golden crust.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
In a mixing bowl, gently toss the cooked pasta with the fresh basil pesto until evenly coated.
Slice the seared chicken breast and serve atop the pesto pasta. Garnish with quartered cherry tomatoes for a burst of freshness.
Plate and enjoy your delicious, balanced meal!
