Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Pan-seared chicken breast tossed with fiber-rich chickpea pasta and a vibrant basil pesto, featuring tangy sun-dried tomatoes for a burst of Mediterranean flavor.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz chickpea pasta
1 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp dry-packed sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup baby spinach
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp olive oil
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the skillet, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it into bite-sized strips.
Drain the pasta, reserving two tablespoons of the cooking water.
In the same skillet used for the chicken, combine the cooked pasta, sliced chicken, basil pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, and baby spinach.
Toss everything over low heat for 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the sauce is creamy, adding the reserved pasta water if needed.
