Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto Chicken Pasta
Sautéed chicken breast tossed with whole wheat penne and a vibrant sun-dried tomato pesto, finished with a handful of wilted spinach and nutty parmesan.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz whole wheat penne
1 tbsp sun-dried tomato pesto
1 cup baby spinach
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp parmesan cheese
1 tsp lemon juice
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions until al dente.
While pasta cooks, season the chicken breast pieces with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the chicken until golden brown and cooked through.
Lower the heat and stir in the baby spinach, allowing it to wilt gently in the residual heat of the pan.
Drain the pasta, reserving a splash of pasta water, and add the noodles to the skillet with the chicken and spinach.
Stir in the sun-dried tomato pesto and lemon juice, adding a bit of pasta water if needed to create a smooth sauce.
Serve immediately topped with parmesan cheese.
