INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast (skinless, boneless)
2 oz dry Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tbsp Basil Pesto Sauce
1 cup Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat with olive oil.
Sear the chicken breast for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and let it rest before slicing.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and reserve a splash of pasta water.
In a bowl, toss the warm pasta with basil pesto sauce. If needed, add a little reserved pasta water to create a smooth coating.
Trim the asparagus and place on a baking sheet. Drizzle with a small amount of olive oil, season lightly with salt and pepper, and roast in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes until tender.
Slice the chicken breast and serve it over the pesto pasta with a side of roasted asparagus. Enjoy your balanced and flavorful meal!
