Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto Chicken Pasta
Sautéed chicken breast tossed with brown rice pasta in a bright sun-dried tomato pesto that provides a savory and zesty finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz brown rice penne
2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
1 tbsp pine nuts
1 cup fresh basil
1 clove garlic
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 cup baby spinach
1 tsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the brown rice penne according to package directions until al dente.
In a small food processor, combine the sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts, fresh basil, garlic, lemon juice, and half of the olive oil to create a thick pesto.
Season the diced chicken breast with the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden and cooked through.
Add the cooked pasta, sun-dried tomato pesto, and baby spinach to the skillet with the chicken.
Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the pasta is thoroughly coated in the vibrant sauce.
