Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Tender pan-seared chicken breast tossed with al dente whole grain pasta and vibrant basil pesto, punctuated by the chewy sweetness of sun-dried tomatoes.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Boneless skinless chicken breast
1 oz Whole grain penne pasta
1 tbsp Basil pesto
2 tbsp Sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup Baby spinach
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole grain penne until al dente, reserving a small amount of pasta water before draining.
Season the chicken breast evenly with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the pan, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice into bite-sized strips.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes, sautéing for one minute until the garlic is fragrant.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and toss until just wilted.
Return the sliced chicken to the pan along with the cooked pasta, basil pesto, and a splash of the reserved pasta water.
Toss everything together until the pasta is coated in a silky pesto sauce and serve immediately.
