Pesto Chicken Linguine with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Pan-seared chicken breast and al dente whole wheat linguine tossed in a vibrant basil pesto with tangy sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz whole wheat linguine
1 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup baby spinach
1 clove garlic
1 tsp olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine until al dente according to package directions, reserving two tablespoons of pasta water before draining.
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the skillet, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it into thin strips.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, sautéing for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
Add the cooked linguine, sliced chicken, baby spinach, and basil pesto to the skillet.
Toss everything together over low heat, adding the reserved pasta water as needed to create a silky sauce that coats the noodles and wilts the spinach.
