INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 cup Fresh Basil
1 clove Garlic

1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 tsp Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and your favorite dried herbs if desired.
Roast the chicken in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let it rest before slicing.
While the chicken roasts, cook the whole wheat pasta in boiling water according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
For the fresh pesto, combine basil, garlic, pine nuts, olive oil, and lemon juice in a food processor. Blend until a smooth sauce forms. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Toss the cooked pasta with the pesto until evenly coated.
Slice the roasted chicken and serve it atop or alongside the pesto pasta.
Enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal!
