Enjoy a vibrant plate of whole wheat pasta tossed with succulent grilled chicken, aromatic pesto, sweet roasted cherry tomatoes, and fresh spinach. This delightful dish offers a balance of light, herby flavors and a satisfying, healthy boost with every bite.
INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Chicken Breast
1/4 cup dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1 tablespoon Basil Pesto
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 cup Spinach
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Halve the cherry tomatoes, toss with 1 teaspoon olive oil, and a pinch of salt if desired, then spread them on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 10 minutes until they soften and slightly caramelize.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a minced garlic clove. Grill or pan-sear over medium heat until fully cooked (about 4-5 minutes per side). Once cooked, slice the chicken into strips.
In a large bowl, combine the warm pasta, roasted cherry tomatoes, fresh spinach, and basil pesto. Toss well to incorporate the flavors.
Top the pasta with the sliced chicken. Serve immediately, enjoying the harmony of warm roasted tomatoes, vibrant spinach, and the fresh, herby kick of pesto.
