INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Start by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tsp of extra virgin olive oil, swirling to coat the pan.
Place the chicken breast in the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.
In the same skillet or a small saucepan, warm up the marinara sauce over medium-low heat until it simmers gently.
Combine the cooked pasta with the heated marinara sauce, mixing well.
Slice the chicken breast into strips and arrange on top of the sauced pasta. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful, balanced meal.
