Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Blistered Tomatoes and Spinach
Enjoy a flavorful plate featuring tender, sautéed chicken breast tossed with whole wheat pasta and a vibrant creamy pesto sauce, accented by sweet, blistered cherry tomatoes and fresh spinach. This dish offers a harmonious balance of textures and a delightful blend of herbal and tangy notes.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tbsp Pesto Sauce
1/2 cup halved Cherry Tomatoes
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Sear the chicken breast on both sides until golden, about 4-5 minutes per side, until cooked through. Remove from skillet and let rest, then slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook until they blister and soften slightly, about 3-4 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions and drain.
In a small bowl, mix the pesto sauce with a splash of warm pasta water to loosen and create a creamy consistency.
Combine the cooked pasta with the pesto, adding the sliced chicken, fresh spinach, and blistered tomatoes. Toss everything gently over low heat until the spinach wilts.
Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, then serve warm.
