Pesto Chicken Linguine with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Sautéed chicken breast tossed with whole wheat linguine and a vibrant basil pesto, featuring tangy sun-dried tomatoes for a burst of Mediterranean flavor.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz boneless skinless chicken breast
1.5 oz whole wheat linguine
1 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp julienned sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup fresh baby spinach
1 clove garlic
1 tsp olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp lemon juice
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine until al dente, reserving 2 tablespoons of the pasta water before draining.
Season the chicken breast evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 5-6 minutes per side.
Remove the chicken from the skillet, let it rest for 3 minutes, then slice it into thin strips.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked linguine, sliced chicken, baby spinach, basil pesto, lemon juice, and the reserved pasta water.
Toss everything together continuously until the spinach is wilted and the pasta is thoroughly coated in a light, silky pesto sauce.
