Pan-Seared Chicken with Creamy Pesto Pasta and Roasted Broccoli
Enjoy a hearty yet balanced dinner featuring succulent pan-seared chicken paired with a creamy pesto-infused whole wheat pasta and a side of roasted broccoli. This dish combines tender protein, vibrant greens, and a rich, aromatic sauce, making it both satisfying and nutritious.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
2 tbsp Pesto Sauce
1 cup Broccoli
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for the broccoli.
Toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them out on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
Meanwhile, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for about 5-6 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the pan and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
In a pot, prepare whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In the same pot, mix the cooked pasta with the pesto sauce until evenly coated. For a creamier texture, you may add a splash of water or a small drizzle of olive oil.
Plate the pesto pasta, top with sliced pan-seared chicken, and serve alongside the roasted broccoli.
