INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 cup Broccoli (chopped)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 cloves Garlic
Pinch Salt
Pinch Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 30 minutes for more flavor).
Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, toss the chopped broccoli with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Spread it evenly on a baking sheet.
Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, until edges are slightly caramelized and tender.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
Once everything is cooked, slice the chicken breast and serve it over a bed of whole wheat pasta with roasted broccoli on the side.
Optionally, drizzle a little extra lemon juice or olive oil over the top for enhanced flavor.
