INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast (approx. 113g)
2 oz dry Whole Wheat Pasta (approx. 56g dry)
1/2 cup Crushed Tomatoes (approx. 122g)
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and cook the whole wheat pasta according to 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 with the olive oil and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the skillet and let it rest before slicing.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and add chopped fresh basil. Reduce the heat and let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Toss the cooked pasta with the tomato basil sauce, then top with sliced lean chicken breast.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, protein-packed meal.
