Fresh Pesto Chicken with Whole Wheat Pasta
Savor the bright flavors of this fresh pesto chicken dish paired with whole wheat pasta. Tender grilled chicken meets zesty, basil-infused pesto, complemented by a burst of cherry tomatoes and fresh basil for an unforgettable, light yet satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
0.75 cup Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tablespoons Pesto Sauce
0.25 cup Cherry Tomatoes
0.25 cup Fresh Basil
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta for about 8-10 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breast for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and nicely browned on the outside.
Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the pesto sauce, ensuring the pasta is well coated.
Gently toss in the halved cherry tomatoes and freshly torn basil leaves.
Plate the pasta, then top with sliced chicken. Garnish with additional basil if desired, and serve warm.
