INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
2 tbsp Basil Pesto
1 cup Mixed Vegetables
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Chop the bell pepper, zucchini, and halve the cherry tomatoes to make a mixed vegetable medley. Toss the vegetables with 1 tsp olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
Spread the vegetables evenly on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
While the vegetables roast, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear the chicken over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and juices run clear.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions, then drain.
Slice the grilled chicken into strips. In a large bowl, toss the cooked pasta with 2 tablespoons of basil pesto.
Gently fold in the roasted vegetables and chicken slices until evenly combined.
Plate the dish and serve warm for a balanced, flavorful meal.
