Chicken Pesto Pasta with Roasted Asparagus
Savor a delightful medley of tender chicken, whole wheat pasta, and vibrant roasted asparagus, all tossed in a fragrant pesto sauce. This balanced dish is perfect for a nourishing breakfast, lunch, or dinner, offering robust flavors and an enticing presentation.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 tablespoon Pesto Sauce
6 spears Asparagus
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for roasting the asparagus.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear over medium heat until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F), about 6-7 minutes per side. Once cooked, slice into strips.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Trim the tough ends off the asparagus. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread evenly on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the pesto sauce. Gently toss to coat.
Fold in the sliced chicken and roasted asparagus, and mix until evenly distributed.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced and flavorful meal!
