Pesto Chicken Linguine with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Sautéed chicken breast and whole wheat linguine tossed in a vibrant basil pesto with tangy sun-dried tomatoes and wilted spinach for a bright, savory finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz whole wheat linguine
1 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup baby spinach
1 clove garlic
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat linguine according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the chicken until golden brown and cooked through.
Add the minced garlic and julienned sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Lower the heat to medium and add the baby spinach, stirring constantly until the leaves just begin to wilt.
Drain the linguine, reserving about 2 tablespoons of the starchy pasta water.
Add the cooked noodles and reserved pasta water to the skillet, then toss everything with the basil pesto until the pasta is coated in a silky, emulsified sauce.
