INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 tablespoon Basil Pesto
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, add a teaspoon of olive oil and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and nicely browned. Remove from the skillet and let rest.
In the same skillet, add the cherry tomatoes and cook over high heat until they blister, about 3-4 minutes. Stir occasionally to avoid burning.
While the tomatoes cook, warm the pre-cooked whole wheat pasta in a pot of simmering water or in the microwave until heated through.
Slice or dice the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, toss the pasta with the basil pesto until evenly coated.
Gently fold in the blistered tomatoes and fresh spinach, allowing the residual heat to slightly wilt the spinach.
Top with the chicken pieces, adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed, and serve warm.
