INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1/4 cup Light Pesto Sauce
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the cherry tomatoes lightly with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil (optional) and spread them on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until they begin to burst and soften.
While the tomatoes roast, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked through. Once done, slice the chicken into strips or bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the light pesto sauce, ensuring the pasta is well coated.
Gently fold in the roasted cherry tomatoes and chicken pieces. Adjust seasoning if necessary and serve warm.
