INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp Pine Nuts
1 Garlic Clove
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
In a food processor, combine the fresh basil leaves, garlic clove, pine nuts, and olive oil. Blend until a smooth pesto forms. If desired, adjust the consistency with a small splash of water.
In a mixing bowl, toss the cooked whole wheat pasta with the fresh pesto until evenly coated.
Slice the grilled chicken breast and serve over or alongside the pesto pasta.
Finish with a light sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese on top. Adjust salt and pepper as needed before serving.
