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 bright, herbaceous finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz chickpea pasta
1 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup baby spinach
1 clove garlic
1 tsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp extra virgin 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 on both sides with the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the pan, let it rest for 2 minutes, then slice it into thin strips.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and toss until just wilted, then stir in the cooked pasta, sliced chicken, basil pesto, and lemon juice until well combined.
