Italian

Tools

Large oven-safe skillet
Thermometer

Ingredients

3 oz. brown rice pasta
½ pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
⅛  teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon avocado oil
1 ½ cups broccoli, chopped
3 tablespoons dairy-free pesto
2 tablespoons sundried tomatoes

Instructions

Cook the pasta al dente according to the instructions on the package.  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat the avocado oil in a large oven safe pan over medium heat. Place the chicken in the pan and sear for a couple of minutes on each side. Bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F. Once the chicken is done baking, remove it from the pan. Chop it into bite size pieces when it is cool enough to handle. Return the pan to the stove over medium heat. Add the broccoli into the pan and saute for 4-5 minutes or until it is tender. Then add the chicken back into the pan followed by the pasta, pesto, and sundried tomatoes. Stir until the ingredients are combined and the pesto is warm. Divide between two bowls and serve.
