INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tablespoons Fresh Pesto
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F for roasting the tomatoes.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a small drizzle of olive oil. Sear the chicken for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
While the chicken is resting, toss the cherry tomatoes with a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 10 minutes until they start to blister and soften.
Prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain well.
In a bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the fresh pesto until evenly coated.
Slice the pan-seared chicken and serve it over a bed of pesto pasta, and garnish with the roasted cherry tomatoes.
Enjoy your balanced and flavorful meal!
