Savor this vibrant dish featuring tender pan-seared chicken, whole wheat pasta tossed in a light basil pesto, and sweet roasted cherry tomatoes. A balanced, colorful plate that's as pleasing to the eye as it is nourishing to the body.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 tablespoon Basil Pesto
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the cherry tomatoes lightly with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them on a baking sheet.
Roast the cherry tomatoes in the oven for 10-12 minutes until they soften and begin to burst.
While the tomatoes roast, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and sear for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden on the exterior. Remove from heat and let rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.
In the meantime, if not already prepared, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the basil pesto, and gently toss to coat evenly.
Plate the pesto pasta and top with sliced pan-seared chicken. Scatter the roasted cherry tomatoes over the dish.
Serve warm and enjoy this balanced, flavorful meal.
