INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 tbsp Basil Pesto
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Add whole wheat pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Once cooked, allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
In a large bowl, combine the hot pasta with basil pesto and fresh spinach. The heat from the pasta will slightly wilt the spinach and meld flavors.
Add the sliced chicken to the pasta mixture and gently toss to coat all ingredients evenly. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
Serve warm and enjoy this flavorful, balanced meal.
