INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1.5 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 cup Broccoli
1 tbsp Basil Pesto
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Transfer to the oven to finish cooking for about 8-10 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken cooks, toss the broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the broccoli on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving a splash of pasta water.
Return the pasta to the pot, then stir in the basil pesto, adding a small amount of reserved pasta water if needed to create a smooth coating.
Slice the cooked chicken breast and serve it atop the pesto pasta with a side of roasted broccoli. Enjoy your nutritious and flavorful meal!
