INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
2 tablespoons Light Pesto
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the whole wheat pasta. Cook until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and sear the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook until they begin to blister, about 3-4 minutes.
Mix in the light pesto into the tomato and garlic mixture, then stir in the cooked pasta until well coated.
Add the sliced chicken back into the skillet and toss everything together until heated through.
Plate the dish and serve warm.
