INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/2 cup Roasted Tomato Sauce
2 cloves Roasted Garlic
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 teaspoon Dried Basil
1/2 teaspoon Dried Oregano
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Roast the garlic cloves by drizzling them with a small amount of olive oil, wrapping in foil, and placing in the oven for about 20 minutes until soft and fragrant. Once done, gently squeeze out the roasted garlic into a bowl.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, dried basil, and dried oregano. Sear the chicken in a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil for about 3 minutes per side until lightly browned.
Transfer the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes until fully cooked. Once cooled slightly, slice the chicken into strips.
In a pot, warm the roasted tomato sauce over low heat. Stir in the roasted garlic for enhanced flavor.
Prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions and drain.
In a serving bowl, combine the pasta with fresh spinach, then top with the sliced chicken.
Drizzle the warm garlic tomato sauce over the dish and toss gently to combine all ingredients. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired before serving.
