INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
2 tbsp Basil Pesto
1 cup Spinach
0.5 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear the chicken over medium-high heat until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Once cooked, slice into bite-sized pieces.
In a small skillet, lightly sauté the minced garlic in a tiny drizzle of olive oil until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta with basil pesto. Add in the sautéed garlic and toss to coat evenly.
Gently fold in fresh spinach and halved cherry tomatoes, letting the residual heat slightly wilt the spinach.
Plate the pesto pasta mixture and top with sliced grilled chicken. Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
