INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
0.5 oz Pine Nuts
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic clove
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until fully cooked and lightly browned on both sides, approximately 5-7 minutes per side. Slice into bite-sized pieces.
In a food processor or blender, combine fresh basil leaves, pine nuts, grated Parmesan cheese, olive oil, and garlic. Blend until a smooth pesto forms. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
In a large bowl, toss the cooked pasta with the pesto sauce until evenly coated.
Gently fold in the sliced chicken pieces. Serve warm and enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors.
