Chicken Pesto Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Sautéed chicken breast and chickpea pasta tossed in a vibrant basil pesto with tangy sun-dried tomatoes and wilted spinach for a savory, satisfying finish.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken breast
1.5 oz Chickpea pasta
1 tbsp Basil pesto
2 tbsp Sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup Baby spinach
1 tsp Olive oil
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tbsp Parmesan cheese
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta until al dente, reserving two tablespoons of pasta water before draining.
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the pan, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice into bite-sized strips.
In the same skillet, add the sun-dried tomatoes and baby spinach, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until the spinach is just wilted.
Lower the heat and add the cooked pasta, sliced chicken, basil pesto, and reserved pasta water to the skillet.
Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated in a silky green sauce.
Garnish with grated parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
