INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 tbsp Homemade Basil Pesto
1 serving Cherry Tomatoes (~50g)

PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the whole wheat pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and sear for about 5-6 minutes per side until golden-brown and cooked through.
In a small bowl, toss the warm pasta with the basil pesto until evenly coated. Add the fresh basil leaves for an extra burst of flavor.
Slice the chicken breast and serve it atop the pesto-coated pasta. Garnish with halved cherry tomatoes for a fresh finishing touch.
