Savor the delightful combination of tender chicken breast bathed in a creamy, herbaceous pesto sauce, served over whole wheat pasta and complemented by crisp roasted asparagus. This dish blends bright, vibrant flavors with a wholesome twist, making it a satisfying meal for any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
2 tablespoons Pesto Sauce
1 cup Asparagus
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread on a baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes until tender.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and lightly browned.
Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in the pesto sauce to the chicken in the skillet, allowing it to warm and coat the chicken to create a creamy sauce.
Combine the cooked pasta with the pesto-coated chicken, mixing gently to ensure even distribution.
Plate the creamy pesto chicken and pasta alongside the roasted asparagus, and serve immediately.
