Pan-Seared Chicken with Creamy Pesto Whole Wheat Pasta and Roasted Cherry Tomatoes
Enjoy a vibrant plate featuring tender, pan-seared chicken served over a bed of whole wheat pasta tossed in a light, creamy pesto sauce, accompanied by sweet roasted cherry tomatoes that add a delightful burst of flavor.
INGREDIENTS
120g Chicken Breast
75g Whole Wheat Pasta
100g Cherry Tomatoes
1 tbsp Creamy Pesto Sauce
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Toss the cherry tomatoes lightly with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them on a baking sheet.
Place the tomatoes in the oven and roast for 10-12 minutes until they soften and start to blister.
Meanwhile, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a small drizzle of olive oil.
Sear the chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes per side or until cooked through and golden on the outside.
In a separate pot, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving a splash of pasta water.
Mix the pasta with the creamy pesto sauce, adding a bit of pasta water if needed to create a smooth, light coating.
Slice the seared chicken breast and serve on top of the pesto pasta, garnishing with roasted cherry tomatoes.
Finish with an extra drizzle of olive oil and an extra pinch of salt and pepper, if desired.
