Chicken with Fresh Pesto Whole Wheat Pasta
Enjoy a vibrant and wholesome meal blending juicy grilled chicken with whole wheat pasta, tossed in a fresh, homemade basil pesto. The fragrant, zesty flavor of basil and garlic perfectly complements the lean protein and nutty pasta for a balanced and satisfying dish.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 Tbsp Fresh Basil Pesto
1 Tbsp Extra Fresh Basil Leaves
1 clove Garlic (minced)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and lightly season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
Grill the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked and juices run clear. Once done, let it rest briefly and then slice into strips.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the warm pasta with the fresh basil pesto, stirring to evenly coat the pasta.
Gently fold in the sliced chicken, minced garlic, and extra fresh basil leaves. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Serve warm and enjoy a balanced, flavorsome meal.
