INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1.5 tbsp Creamy Basil Pesto
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F for the cherry tomatoes.
Season the 5 oz chicken breast with salt and pepper.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp of extra virgin olive oil.
Pan-sear the chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and let rest.
Meanwhile, roast the cherry tomatoes on a baking tray for 10 minutes until they soften and begin to caramelize.
Prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions, then drain.
In a large bowl, toss the hot pasta with the creamy basil pesto to evenly coat it.
Gently fold in the roasted cherry tomatoes.
Slice the chicken breast and serve it atop the pesto pasta for a harmonious blend of flavors.
Garnish with fresh basil if desired and serve immediately.
