Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto Chicken Pasta
Pan-seared chicken breast tossed with chickpea pasta and a vibrant sun-dried tomato pesto, featuring a silky texture and fresh basil notes.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
2 oz chickpea pasta
1 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 cup fresh spinach
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp pine nuts
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp fresh basil
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water before draining.
Season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from pan and slice into thin strips.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic, halved cherry tomatoes, and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for 2 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and toss for 1 minute until just wilted.
Return the cooked pasta and sliced chicken to the skillet. Toss with the reserved pasta water, parmesan cheese, and pine nuts to emulsify into a light sauce.
Garnish with freshly chopped basil and serve immediately.
