Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto Chicken Penne
Sautéed chicken breast and whole wheat penne are tossed in a vibrant sun-dried tomato pesto, creating a savory and aromatic dish brightened with fresh spinach.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken breast
0.5 cup Whole wheat penne
1 tbsp Sun-dried tomato pesto
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 cup Fresh baby spinach
2 tbsp Sun-dried tomatoes
1 clove Garlic
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Lemon juice
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the chicken until golden and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet, stirring for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
Drain the pasta, reserving a small splash of pasta water, and add the penne to the skillet with the chicken.
Stir in the sun-dried tomato pesto and baby spinach, tossing until the spinach is slightly wilted and the pasta is evenly coated.
Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and serve immediately.
