INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Chicken Breast
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 medium Fresh Tomato
1/4 cup Fresh Basil (chopped)
1 clove Garlic
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the whole wheat pasta. Cook according to package directions until al dente, then drain.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken. Cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the pan and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add the olive oil and gently sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Dice the fresh tomato and add it to the pan along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Allow the tomatoes to soften for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the chopped basil and mix well to create the fresh tomato basil sauce.
Combine the cooked pasta with the tomato basil sauce in the pan. Toss gently to ensure the pasta is evenly coated.
Plate the pasta and top with the sliced chicken breast. Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired and serve warm.
