Sautéed chicken breast and crisp asparagus tossed with whole wheat pasta in a bright, zesty lemon-garlic sauce.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz boneless skinless chicken breast
0.75 cup cooked whole wheat penne
1 cup asparagus spears
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
0.5 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp fresh parsley
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
PREPARATION
Prepare the whole wheat penne according to package directions and set aside.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Stir in the asparagus spears and minced garlic, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until the asparagus is tender-crisp.
Add the cooked pasta, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest to the skillet, tossing everything together to coat.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley and grated parmesan cheese before serving.
