Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Sautéed chicken breast and whole wheat penne tossed in a vibrant basil pesto with tangy sun-dried tomatoes and wilted spinach for a savory, nutrient-dense meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken breast
1.5 oz Whole wheat penne pasta
1 tbsp Basil pesto
2 tbsp Sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup Baby spinach
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp Garlic
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes to the pan, cooking for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
Stir in the baby spinach and cook just until the leaves begin to wilt.
Drain the pasta, reserving 2 tablespoons of the cooking water.
Add the pasta, basil pesto, and reserved water to the skillet, tossing everything together until the chicken and noodles are coated in the vibrant sauce.
