Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Sautéed chicken breast tossed with brown rice pasta and a vibrant basil pesto, featuring tangy sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach for a silky finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz brown rice penne
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 clove garlic
PREPARATION
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and cook the brown rice penne according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sauté for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Mince the garlic and add it to the skillet along with the julienned sun-dried tomatoes, sautéing for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Drain the pasta, reserving 2 tablespoons of the cooking water.
Add the cooked pasta, basil pesto, and reserved pasta water to the skillet, tossing everything together to coat.
Fold in the baby spinach and stir for 30 seconds until the leaves are just wilted, then serve immediately.
