INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
2 tablespoons Homemade Pesto
1 cup Roasted Mixed Vegetables
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F for roasting the vegetables.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, lightly sear the chicken on both sides until golden, then finish cooking in the oven for about 10 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the roasted vegetables by tossing chopped zucchini and bell peppers in a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the homemade pesto sauce. Slice the cooked chicken and gently mix in along with the roasted vegetables.
Serve warm and enjoy this balanced, flavorful dish.
