Pesto Chicken Linguine with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Pan-seared chicken breast tossed with al dente linguine and a vibrant basil pesto, featuring tangy sun-dried tomatoes for a burst of Mediterranean flavor.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz linguine
1 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes in oil
1 cup baby spinach
1 tsp olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp parmesan cheese
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Mince the garlic and add it to the skillet along with the sun-dried tomatoes, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
Reserve 2 tablespoons of the pasta cooking water, then drain the linguine.
Add the cooked linguine, baby spinach, basil pesto, and the reserved pasta water to the skillet with the chicken.
Toss everything together over low heat until the spinach is just wilted and the pasta is evenly coated in pesto.
Transfer to a plate and garnish with freshly grated parmesan cheese before serving.
