Pesto Chicken Linguine with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Sautéed chicken breast and whole wheat linguine tossed in a vibrant, herbaceous pesto sauce featuring chewy sun-dried tomatoes and fresh baby spinach.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz whole wheat linguine
1 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup baby spinach
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.75 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 clove garlic
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add 0.5 tsp of the sea salt, and cook the linguine according to package directions until al dente.
Season the chicken breast with the remaining 0.25 tsp sea salt and the black pepper while the pasta cooks.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side.
Remove chicken from the pan, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice into thin strips.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the cooked linguine, sliced chicken, and baby spinach to the skillet, tossing until the spinach begins to wilt.
Stir in the basil pesto, adding a splash of pasta water if needed to create a smooth, glossy sauce that coats every strand.
