Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Sautéed chicken breast and whole grain pasta tossed in a vibrant basil pesto with tangy sun-dried tomatoes and wilted spinach for a bright, herbaceous finish.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz chicken breast
1 oz whole wheat penne
1 tbsp basil pesto
1 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup fresh baby spinach
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.13 tsp sea salt
0.13 tsp black pepper
1 tsp lemon juice
PREPARATION
Boil a pot of salted water and cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through.
Lower the heat to medium and stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and fresh baby spinach, allowing the greens to wilt slightly.
Drain the pasta, reserving two tablespoons of the cooking water, then add the noodles to the skillet.
Fold in the basil pesto and lemon juice, adding the reserved pasta water as needed to create a silky sauce that coats every ingredient.
