INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (~142g)

1 tbsp Basil Pesto (~16g)
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil (~4.5g)

PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken breast. Sear each side for about 4-5 minutes until golden and cooked through.
While the chicken cooks, mince the garlic and toss it in with the chicken during the last minute of cooking to release its aroma.
In a bowl, toss the warm cooked whole wheat pasta with the basil pesto, ensuring an even coat.
Slice the chicken breast and serve atop the creamy pesto pasta. Garnish with halved cherry tomatoes for a burst of freshness.
