Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto Chicken Penne
Sautéed chicken and whole wheat penne are tossed in a zesty sun-dried tomato pesto, creating a vibrant and savory dish that is deeply aromatic.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken breast
0.75 cup Whole wheat penne, cooked
2 tbsp Sun-dried tomatoes, drained
1 tbsp Fresh basil
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 cup Baby spinach
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat penne in a pot of boiling salted water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Pulse the sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, and garlic in a small food processor until finely chopped to create the pesto.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced chicken breast to the skillet and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Sauté the chicken for 6-8 minutes until golden and fully cooked.
Stir in the baby spinach and cook for 1 minute until the leaves are just wilted.
Add the cooked penne and the sun-dried tomato pesto to the skillet, tossing thoroughly to coat the pasta in the fragrant sauce.
