Fettuccine with Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto and Seared Chicken
Pan-seared chicken and al dente fettuccine tossed in a vibrant sun-dried tomato pesto, creating a savory and satisfying Mediterranean-inspired dish.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
1 oz dry fettuccine
2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
1 tsp olive oil
1 cup fresh baby spinach
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh basil
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with half of the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
In a small food processor, pulse the sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and fresh basil until a coarse pesto forms.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 3 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
In the same skillet, add the baby spinach and a splash of pasta water, sautéing until just wilted.
Add the cooked fettuccine, sun-dried tomato pesto, and sliced chicken to the skillet, tossing everything together to coat evenly.
Serve immediately topped with grated parmesan cheese and the remaining salt and pepper.
