INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta, cooked
1 tablespoon Fresh Pesto
6 Asparagus Spears
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for roasting the asparagus.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden. Once cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
While the chicken is cooking, toss the asparagus spears with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and arrange them on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Prepare the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and return to the pot.
Stir in the fresh pesto into the warm pasta until evenly coated.
Assemble your plate by placing a generous portion of pesto pasta, topping it with sliced chicken breast, and serving the roasted asparagus on the side.
Enjoy your balanced and flavorful meal!
