Savor the delightful balance of tender roasted chicken and al dente whole wheat pasta tossed in a vibrant basil pesto, complemented by a colorful medley of roasted vegetables. This dish offers a fresh, satisfying flavor profile with a hint of herbaceous brightness and a comforting warmth from the roasted veggies.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 cup Mixed Roasted Vegetables
1 tablespoon Basil Pesto
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss your chosen vegetables in a small amount of olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them on a baking sheet.
Roast the vegetables in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the vegetables roast, bring a pot of water to a boil and 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 hint of Italian herbs. Sear the chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat until golden on both sides, then finish cooking until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let it rest briefly before slicing.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, roasted vegetables, sliced chicken, and basil pesto. Toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly with the pesto sauce.
Serve warm and enjoy a balanced meal packed with flavor, protein, and wholesome goodness.
