INGREDIENTS

5 oz Chicken breast

2 oz Whole wheat penne

1 cup Cherry tomatoes

2 cloves Garlic

1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil

1 tbsp Fresh basil

1 tsp Dried oregano

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

1 tbsp Lemon juice

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  While the pasta cooks, slice the chicken breast into bite-sized strips and season evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.

• 3

  Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.

• 4

  Add the cherry tomatoes and minced garlic to the skillet with the chicken. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes begin to blister and release their juices.

• 5

  Drain the pasta, reserving a splash of the cooking water, and add the pasta directly into the skillet.

• 6

  Toss everything together with the lemon juice and fresh basil, adding a touch of pasta water if needed to create a light sauce. Serve immediately.
