Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Pan-seared chicken breast and whole wheat penne 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
1.5 oz whole wheat penne
1 tbsp basil pesto
1 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup baby spinach
1 tsp olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tbsp grated parmesan
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne until al dente.
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for three minutes before slicing into thin strips.
In the same skillet, add the sun-dried tomatoes and baby spinach, sautéing for two minutes until the spinach is wilted.
Add the cooked pasta, sliced chicken, and basil pesto to the skillet, tossing well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Stir in the fresh lemon juice and garnish with grated parmesan before serving warm.
