INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 tablespoon Basil Pesto
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 cup Baby Spinach
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Toss the cherry tomatoes with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper, and spread them on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until they soften and begin to burst.
While the tomatoes roast, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Sear the chicken in a preheated non-stick skillet over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Cook whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta with basil pesto, gently stirring to coat.
Slice the chicken breast into strips, add to the pasta along with the roasted cherry tomatoes and fresh baby spinach. Toss lightly until the spinach wilts by the residual heat.
Plate the dish and enjoy immediately.
