Pan-Seared Chicken with Fresh Pesto Whole Wheat Pasta
Savor the delightful combination of tender, pan-seared chicken paired with a vibrant, homemade pesto tossed with whole wheat pasta. This dish is perfect for a balanced dinner that delivers a satisfying blend of protein, carbs, and fresh, aromatic herbs.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil Pesto
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of olive oil.
Pan-sear the chicken breast for about 4-5 minutes per side until cooked through and nicely golden. Remove from skillet and let rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add the fresh basil pesto and a few halved cherry tomatoes. Stir for 1-2 minutes to warm the pesto slightly and soften the tomatoes.
Combine the cooked pasta with the pesto mixture. Top with the sliced chicken and the remaining cherry tomatoes.
Serve warm and enjoy your protein-packed, flavorful meal.
