1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Prepared Basil Pesto
Salt & Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper on both sides.
Lightly brush or spray the chicken with olive oil to help the panko adhere.
Coat the chicken breast evenly with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure they stick.
Place the panko-crusted chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is baking, cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Toss the cooked pasta gently with the prepared basil pesto until evenly coated.
Plate the pasta and top with the sliced panko-crusted chicken, serving immediately.
