INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1 tablespoon Basil Pesto
1/2 cup halved Cherry Tomatoes
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted 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 and pepper. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and lightly browned. Let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing into strips.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm pasta with basil pesto, ensuring the pasta is evenly coated.
Add the fresh spinach and halved cherry tomatoes to the pasta and gently toss.
Top the pasta with sliced chicken breast, and drizzle any remaining pesto or olive oil if desired.
Serve immediately while warm, savoring the fresh flavors and balanced textures.
