Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Pan-seared chicken breast and chickpea pasta tossed in a vibrant basil pesto with tangy sun-dried tomatoes and wilted spinach for a silky finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz chickpea pasta
1 tbsp basil pesto
1 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup baby spinach
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente.
While pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side.
Remove chicken from the pan, let it rest for 2 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and toss until just wilted.
Drain the pasta, reserving 2 tablespoons of pasta water, and add both to the skillet.
Stir in the basil pesto and sliced chicken, tossing everything together until well-coated and heated through.
