Chicken Pesto with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Pan-seared chicken breast tossed with fragrant basil pesto and tangy sun-dried tomatoes over a bed of tender zucchini noodles.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken breast
1 tbsp Olive oil
1 cup Fresh basil leaves
1 clove Garlic
0.5 tbsp Pine nuts
1 tbsp Grated parmesan cheese
2 tbsp Sun-dried tomatoes
1.5 cup Zucchini noodles
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Lemon juice
PREPARATION
Prepare the pesto by pulsing the fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, parmesan cheese, and half of the olive oil in a food processor until a fragrant, coarse paste forms.
Season the chicken breast evenly with the sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 6 minutes per side.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 3 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
In the same skillet, briefly sauté the zucchini noodles and sun-dried tomatoes for 2 minutes until they are just tender.
Toss the warm zucchini noodles and tomatoes with the prepared pesto and lemon juice until well coated.
Top the pesto noodles with the sliced chicken and serve immediately while hot.
