INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (~142g)
1/2 cup Cooked Whole Wheat Pasta (70g)
1/2 cup Asparagus (~90g)
1 tbsp Pesto (16g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (4.5g)
1 tsp Lemon Juice (5g)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for roasting the asparagus.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and sear the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden.
While the chicken cooks, toss the asparagus with a little olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper, then spread them on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes until tender.
Warm the whole wheat pasta if needed and toss it with pesto until evenly coated.
Plate the pasta and top with the pan-seared chicken. Serve alongside the roasted asparagus and drizzle any remaining lemon-olive oil mixture over the dish for an extra zesty finish.
