Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Roasted Asparagus
Enjoy a vibrant and satisfying dish featuring tender chicken breast tossed with whole wheat pasta and a creamy pesto sauce, complemented by perfectly roasted asparagus. This dish offers a delightful mix of textures and flavors, from the savory, herbaceous pesto to the crunchy roasted asparagus.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tablespoons Pesto Sauce
1 cup Asparagus
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Trim the asparagus ends and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season lightly with salt and pepper, then roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crisp.
While the asparagus is roasting, boil water in a pot and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side, until fully cooked and golden on the outside. Once rested, slice into strips.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the pesto sauce until evenly coated. Gently fold in the sliced chicken.
Plate the pasta and chicken mixture and top with the roasted asparagus. Enjoy your flavorful and nutrient-packed meal.
