Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Sautéed chicken breast tossed with whole grain penne and vibrant basil pesto, featuring chewy sun-dried tomatoes and wilted spinach for a bright, Mediterranean-inspired meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken breast
1 oz Whole grain penne pasta
1 tbsp Basil pesto
2 tbsp Sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup Baby spinach
0.5 tsp Olive oil
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Minced garlic
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole grain penne according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast pieces with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken, cooking until golden brown and cooked through.
Stir in the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, sautéing for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and toss gently until the leaves are just wilted.
Drain the pasta, reserving a splash of pasta water, and add it to the skillet along with the basil pesto.
Toss everything together until well combined, adding a teaspoon of pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce, and serve immediately.
