INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Asparagus
1 tbsp Basil Pesto
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for roasting the asparagus.
Trim the asparagus and toss them with 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Arrange on a baking sheet, season lightly with salt and pepper, and roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
While the asparagus roasts, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken breast. Sear for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden brown. Slice the chicken into strips.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the basil pesto until evenly coated.
Plate the pesto pasta and top with the sliced chicken and roasted asparagus. Serve warm and enjoy!
