Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto Chicken Pasta
Pan-seared chicken breast and chickpea pasta tossed in a vibrant sun-dried tomato pesto, featuring wilted spinach and a burst of savory, concentrated tomato flavor.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken breast
1.5 oz Chickpea pasta
1 tbsp Sun-dried tomato pesto
0.5 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 cup Fresh baby spinach
2 tbsp Sun-dried tomatoes
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
1 tbsp Fresh basil
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente, reserving 2 tablespoons of pasta water before draining.
Season the chicken breast evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
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 skillet, let it rest for 2 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
In the same skillet, add the julienned sun-dried tomatoes and fresh baby spinach, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until the spinach is just wilted.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked pasta, sliced chicken, sun-dried tomato pesto, and the reserved pasta water to the skillet.
Toss all ingredients together until the pasta is well-coated and the sauce is creamy, then garnish with fresh basil chiffonade before serving.
