INGREDIENTS

8 oz chicken breast

2 oz whole grain pasta

1.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

3 clove garlic

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp lemon zest

1 tsp fresh rosemary

1 tsp fresh thyme

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp fresh parsley

1 tbsp parmesan cheese

PREPARATION

• 1

  Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente, reserving 0.25 cup of pasta water before draining.

• 2

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

• 3

  Heat 0.5 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 6 to 7 minutes per side until fully cooked, then remove from the pan to rest.

• 4

  Reduce the skillet heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil along with the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and chopped thyme, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.

• 5

  Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and the reserved pasta water, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

• 6

  Add the cooked pasta and chopped parsley to the skillet, tossing well to coat the noodles in the garlic-herb sauce.

• 7

  Slice the rested chicken and serve it over the pasta, finishing with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
