INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Broccoli
1.5 tbsp Pesto Sauce
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Sear in a hot non-stick skillet for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly golden, then transfer to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until fully cooked.
While the chicken bakes, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Cut the broccoli into florets, toss with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread on the baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 15 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the pesto sauce. Slice the cooked chicken breast and gently mix it into the pasta.
Fold in the roasted broccoli and stir to distribute ingredients evenly. Serve warm and enjoy your nutritious, delicious meal.
