INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
2 tbsp Fresh Basil Pesto
1/4 cup Cherry Tomatoes (halved)
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Start by cooking the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the extra virgin olive oil. Sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Place the chicken breast in the skillet and sear for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Once cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, fresh basil pesto, and halved cherry tomatoes. Toss gently to coat evenly.
Plate the pesto pasta and top with slices of pan-seared chicken.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
