INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta, cooked
1 tablespoon Fresh Basil Pesto
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Season the chicken breast with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place on a baking tray and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken roasts, cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
Toss the warm pasta with the fresh basil pesto until evenly coated.
Plate the pasta and top with the sliced roasted chicken. Garnish with extra fresh basil if desired and serve immediately.
