Pesto Chicken Penne with Roasted Tomatoes
Tender chicken breast and whole wheat penne tossed in a vibrant basil pesto, complemented by the burst of juicy roasted cherry tomatoes.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz Chicken breast
1 oz Whole wheat penne pasta
0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Basil pesto
1 tbsp Shaved parmesan cheese
1 clove Garlic
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss the cherry tomatoes with the extra virgin olive oil, half of the sea salt, and half of the black pepper on the baking sheet.
Roast the tomatoes for 12 minutes until the skins begin to blister and release their juices.
While tomatoes roast, cook the whole wheat penne in a pot of boiling salted water according to package directions until al dente.
Season the chicken breast with the remaining salt and pepper, then sauté in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until golden and cooked through.
Mince the garlic and add it to the skillet with the chicken for the final 60 seconds of cooking to soften.
Drain the pasta and return it to the pot, then fold in the cooked chicken, roasted tomatoes, and basil pesto.
Toss everything together until the pasta is well-coated and serve immediately topped with shaved parmesan cheese.
