INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil
1 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Pat the chicken breast dry and season with salt and pepper as desired.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Place the chicken breast in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked thoroughly and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
Mix the cooked pasta into the skillet and toss with the tomatoes and garlic.
Stir in fresh basil leaves, then plate the pasta, top with sliced chicken, and serve immediately.
