Pesto Chicken Linguine with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Pan-seared chicken breast tossed with al dente linguine and vibrant basil pesto, featuring tangy sun-dried tomatoes and wilted spinach for a bright, savory finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken breast
1.25 oz Dry linguine
1 tbsp Basil pesto
2 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
1 tsp Lemon juice
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the pasta cooking water before draining.
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the skillet, let it rest for 3 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and toss for 1-2 minutes until just wilted.
Add the cooked linguine, sliced chicken, basil pesto, lemon juice, and reserved pasta water to the skillet.
Toss everything together over low heat until the pasta is well-coated and the sauce is glossy.
