Pan-Seared Chicken with Creamy Pesto Whole Wheat Pasta and Blistered Tomatoes
Enjoy a harmonious blend of flavors in this dish where tender pan-seared chicken meets whole wheat pasta enveloped in a creamy pesto sauce, accented by the sweet, charred notes of blistered tomatoes. A balanced meal that's both satisfying and vibrant on the palate.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast (113g)
1 oz dry Whole Wheat Pasta (28g)
1 serving Homemade Basil Pesto (30g)
0.5 cup Cherry Tomatoes (75g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (4.5g)
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the whole wheat pasta. Cook until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add half the olive oil. Sear the chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden and thoroughly cooked. Remove from heat and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and toss in the cherry tomatoes. Sauté until they start to blister and soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Combine the cooked pasta with the homemade basil pesto, stirring well to coat evenly. The pesto can be prepared by blending fresh basil, a drizzle of olive oil, a small amount of grated Parmesan, a few pine nuts, and a clove of garlic until smooth.
Plate the creamy pesto pasta, top with the sliced pan-seared chicken and add the blistered tomatoes on the side.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, nutrient-packed meal.
