INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/2 cup packed Fresh Basil
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 clove Garlic
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes (halved)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and no longer pink inside. Let the chicken rest before slicing.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
For the pesto, in a food processor combine fresh basil, garlic, olive oil, and grated Parmesan cheese. Blend until smooth. If desired, add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Toss the warm pasta with the homemade pesto ensuring an even coating.
Slice the grilled chicken and gently mix with the pasta. Add halved cherry tomatoes for a burst of freshness.
Plate the dish and garnish with an extra sprinkle of Parmesan if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your meal!
