INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
5 spears Asparagus
1 tbsp Fresh Pesto
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for roasting the asparagus.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Place the chicken in the pan and sear each side until golden and crispy, approximately 3-4 minutes per side, reducing the heat if needed to cook through.
While the chicken cooks, arrange the asparagus spears on a baking sheet, drizzle lightly with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender and lightly charred.
In the meantime, prepare whole wheat pasta according to package instructions. Drain and return to the pot.
Stir in the fresh pesto with the cooked pasta until evenly coated.
Plate a serving of the pesto pasta, top with slices of the crispy pan-seared chicken, and add a side of roasted asparagus.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
