INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

1 oz whole wheat pasta

2 tsp extra virgin olive oil

0.5 cup tomato puree

1 clove garlic

0.5 cup zucchini

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp red pepper flakes

2 tbsp fresh basil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente.

• 2

  While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast on both sides with half of the sea salt and black pepper.

• 3

  Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through, then set aside to rest.

• 4

  In the same skillet, add the remaining teaspoon of olive oil, minced garlic, and sliced zucchini. Sauté for 3 minutes until the zucchini is tender-crisp.

• 5

  Pour in the tomato puree, red pepper flakes, and the remaining salt and pepper. Simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld.

• 6

  Drain the pasta and toss it directly into the skillet with the tomato sauce and zucchini.

• 7

  Slice the rested chicken into strips and serve over the pasta, garnishing with freshly chopped basil.
