INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Penne Pasta (cooked)
1 cup Roasted Broccoli
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 Garlic Cloves
Salt and Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss broccoli florets with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast on a baking sheet for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
While the broccoli roasts, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium heat and add minced garlic. Sauté briefly until fragrant.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and sear on both sides until golden, about 4-5 minutes per side, then lower the heat, add lemon juice, cover, and cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
In a separate pot, cook the whole wheat penne according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Slice the cooked chicken and toss with the penne pasta. Drizzle with any remaining pan juices and additional lemon juice if desired.
Plate the chicken and pasta alongside the roasted broccoli, and garnish with a final sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste.
