INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Penne Pasta
1/2 cup Fresh Tomatoes (or Crushed Tomatoes)
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil Leaves
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Optionally, add a small drizzle of olive oil and minced garlic.
Place the chicken breast on a baking tray and bake for 20-25 minutes or until fully cooked. Once cooked, let it rest and then slice into strips.
While the chicken is baking, cook the whole wheat penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a saucepan over medium heat, heat the teaspoon of olive oil, then add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the fresh tomatoes into the saucepan, mashing slightly for a chunky sauce consistency. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes. Stir in the fresh basil leaves, reserving a few for garnish.
Combine the cooked pasta with the tomato basil sauce. Gently toss to coat evenly.
Plate the pasta and top with the sliced baked chicken. Garnish with the remaining basil leaves and adjust seasoning to taste before serving.
