INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
100g cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Creamy Basil Pesto
Fresh Basil Leaves
Salt & Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss the cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them on a baking tray. Roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes until they soften and blister slightly.
While the tomatoes roast, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear the chicken over medium-high heat until it is cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Once done, slice the chicken into strips.
Prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the creamy basil pesto, stirring to evenly coat the noodles.
Add the sliced chicken and roasted cherry tomatoes to the pasta. Gently toss to mix all the flavors together.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately and enjoy!
