INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces dry Whole Wheat Spaghetti
1.5 teaspoons Olive Oil
1.5 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese
1 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
1 tablespoon Fresh Basil
Salt and Pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1.5 teaspoons of olive oil.
Sear the chicken breast for about 4-5 minutes per side or until fully cooked and golden brown on the outside. Remove from skillet and let rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the cooked pasta, lemon juice, and fresh basil.
Toss the pasta to evenly coat it in the garlic-infused olive oil. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and toss lightly.
Plate the pasta and elegantly arrange the seared chicken slices on top, finishing with an extra drizzle of olive oil or sprinkle of fresh basil if desired.
