Chicken Pesto Pasta with Blistered Tomatoes and Spinach
Enjoy a vibrant plate of tender chicken breast combined with whole wheat pasta and a luscious basil pesto, perfectly complemented by blistered cherry tomatoes and fresh spinach. This dish offers a harmonious blend of savory flavors and a satisfying texture, making it both nutritious and delicious.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta
1 tbsp Pesto
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 cup Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper, and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and slice into strips.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the same skillet and cook over medium-high heat until they begin to blister, about 2-3 minutes.
Lower the heat and add the pesto to the skillet, stirring to coat the tomatoes.
Stir in the cooked pasta and fresh spinach, allowing the spinach to wilt slightly from the residual heat.
Plate the pasta mixture and top with sliced chicken breast. Serve immediately.
