Pesto Chicken Linguine with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Pan-seared chicken breast and al dente linguine tossed in a vibrant basil pesto with tangy sun-dried tomatoes for a bright, herbaceous finish.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz chicken breast
1.25 oz whole wheat linguine
1 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
2 cup baby spinach
0.5 tsp olive oil
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat linguine until al dente, reserving 2 tablespoons of pasta water before draining.
Season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through, then set aside to rest before slicing.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, sautéing for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and toss until just wilted.
Return the sliced chicken and cooked linguine to the skillet, then stir in the basil pesto and reserved pasta water to create a light, silky sauce.
