Preparation
0/5 steps complete
Prepare the base: red lentil pasta. Warm or sear cooked chicken breast until the edges look browned and appetizing.
Cook or prep garlic mushrooms separately so the side keeps its texture.
Spoon basil pesto onto cooked chicken breast at the end, using just enough to season the main bite without soaking the grains or vegetables.
Let hot food cool for a few minutes, then arrange the main, the side, and the fresh or crunchy pieces in separate groups so every bite keeps its texture.
Set aside cherry tomatoes, basil pesto, walnuts before reheating. Warm only the cooked components, uncovered, for 45 to 75 seconds.
