INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 tablespoon Basil Pesto
1/2 cup Zucchini, sliced
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper, sliced
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Toss the sliced zucchini, red bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes with a light drizzle of olive oil (optional), salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
Roast the vegetables in the oven for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly charred, stirring halfway through.
While the vegetables roast, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Cook it in a skillet over medium heat or grill it until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes per side. Let it rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.
Prepare the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the pasta, roasted vegetables, and chicken slices. Drizzle the basil pesto over the top and toss gently to coat evenly.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
