INGREDIENTS

5 oz Chicken Breast

1 oz Whole Wheat Pasta

1 medium Fresh Tomato

2 tbsp Fresh Basil

2 cloves Garlic

1/2 Lemon

1 tsp Olive Oil

Salt & Pepper (to taste)

PREPARATION

• 1

  Start by bringing a pot of water to a boil, then add the whole wheat pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

• 2

  While the pasta cooks, pat dry the chicken breast and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.

• 3

  Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breast.

• 4

  Sauté the chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. In the last minute of cooking, add minced garlic and squeeze in the juice from half a lemon to create a fragrant pan sauce.

• 5

  Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

• 6

  Dice the fresh tomato and roughly chop the basil. Toss these with the drained whole wheat pasta. Adjust seasoning with extra salt, pepper, and a drizzle of lemon juice if desired.

• 7

  Plate the pasta, then top with the sliced chicken. Spoon any remaining pan sauce over the top and garnish with the fresh basil.

• 8

  Serve immediately and enjoy this bright, flavorful dish.
