Enjoy a vibrant plate featuring crispy, perfectly seared chicken breasts partnered with whole wheat pasta tossed in a bright, homemade light pesto, accompanied by tender roasted asparagus. This dish brings together a medley of textures and rich flavors that are both healthy and indulgent.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast (skinless)
1 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
2 tbsp Light Pesto
6 spears Asparagus
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Start by seasoning the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear each side for about 3-4 minutes until a crispy golden crust forms. Lower the heat and cook through until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta in boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Toss the hot pasta with the light pesto, ensuring the pasta is evenly coated.
For the asparagus, preheat your oven to 425°F. Arrange the asparagus spears on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Roast for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Plate the pasta, nestle the seared chicken breast on top, and add the roasted asparagus on the side. Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
