INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1/2 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
1 clove Garlic
1 Tbsp Parmesan Cheese
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by cooking the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Place the seasoned chicken in the skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken and slice it thinly.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, then lower the heat.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet along with the fresh basil leaves and Parmesan cheese. Toss gently to coat the pasta with the olive oil and garlic, creating a light pesto.
Plate the pasta and arrange the sliced chicken on top.
Finish with a light sprinkle of salt and pepper, then serve warm.
