INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tablespoons Creamy Pesto Sauce
1 cup Mixed Roasted Vegetables (Bell Pepper & Zucchini)
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Sear the chicken in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden (it will finish cooking in the oven).
Place the seared chicken on a baking tray and roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes until fully cooked.
While the chicken roasts, toss the mixed vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto sauce. Slice the roasted chicken and gently fold it into the pasta.
Plate the chicken and pasta mixture, and top with the roasted vegetables. Garnish with extra basil or a sprinkle of Parmesan if desired, and serve warm.
