Chicken Pesto Pasta with Blistered Tomatoes and Fresh Spinach
Savor a vibrant bowl of tender chicken paired with al dente whole wheat pasta, enveloped in a fragrant basil pesto. Juicy, blistered tomatoes and a handful of fresh spinach complete this dish, delivering a perfect balance of protein, carbs, and healthy fats in a delightful, colorful dinner.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 tablespoon Basil Pesto
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and lightly browned. Allow the chicken to rest, then slice into strips.
While the chicken cooks, bring water to a boil in a pot and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a separate pan, add the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook until they start to blister, about 3-4 minutes, turning them slightly once.
In a large bowl, combine the warm pasta with the basil pesto, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
Fold in the blistered tomatoes and fresh spinach, then gently mix in the sliced chicken.
Serve immediately while warm, enjoying the blend of flavors and textures.
