INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast (140g)
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta (70g)
1/4 cup Light Pesto Sauce (60g)
1 cup Mixed Roasted Vegetables (150g)
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) for roasting the vegetables.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and your preferred dried herbs. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, sear the chicken for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden, then finish cooking in the oven for 8-10 minutes until fully cooked.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the mixed vegetables. Toss them with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread evenly on a baking tray and roast in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the light pesto sauce, ensuring the pasta is evenly coated.
Slice the cooked chicken breast and gently mix into the pasta along with the roasted vegetables.
Serve warm and enjoy a balanced, nutrient-packed meal.
