Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Sautéed chicken breast and sun-dried tomatoes tossed with whole wheat pasta in a vibrant basil pesto that coats every bite with savory richness.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken breast
1.5 oz Whole wheat penne
1 tbsp Basil pesto
2 tbsp Sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup Baby spinach
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast pieces evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken, cooking until golden brown and cooked through.
Lower the heat to medium and stir in the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and toss gently until just wilted.
Drain the pasta, reserving a splash of pasta water, then add the pasta and basil pesto to the skillet.
Toss everything together until well combined, adding a tablespoon of pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce before serving.
