INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup dry Whole Wheat Pasta (yields ~1 cup cooked)
1/2 medium Zucchini
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
Pinch Black Pepper
Pinch Salt
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Dice the zucchini, halve the cherry tomatoes, and slice the red bell pepper into strips.
Toss the vegetables with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper, then spread them on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
While the vegetables roast, season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken on both sides until golden, about 4-5 minutes per side, ensuring it's cooked through.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips.
In a large bowl, combine the pasta, roasted vegetables, and chicken. Drizzle with a little extra lemon juice if desired and toss to mix the flavors.
Serve warm and enjoy your vibrant, protein-packed meal.
