INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/4 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
1/4 cup Fresh Parsley
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
0.5 oz Parmesan Cheese
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden.
Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor, combine the fresh basil, parsley, garlic, olive oil, and a pinch of salt to create a fresh herb pesto. Blend until smooth.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips or bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, toss the warm pasta with the herb pesto until evenly coated. Gently fold in the chicken pieces.
Plate the dish and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top. Serve immediately while warm.
