INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 medium Zucchini
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 tablespoon Basil Pesto
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. While the oven warms up, chop the red bell pepper, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes into bite-sized pieces.
Place the chopped vegetables onto a baking sheet, drizzle with a small amount of olive oil (optional) and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
While the vegetables roast, season the chicken breast with your preferred herbs and spices. Sauté the chicken in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F), approximately 6-7 minutes per side. Once done, slice it into strips.
Prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, roasted vegetables, and sliced chicken. Drizzle with basil pesto and gently toss to evenly distribute the flavors.
Serve warm and enjoy a balanced meal that's packed with lean protein, whole grains, and fresh vegetables.
