Pesto Chicken Linguine with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Sautéed chicken breast tossed with whole grain linguine and vibrant basil pesto, accented by the chewy sweetness of sun-dried tomatoes.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz boneless skinless chicken breast
1.25 oz whole wheat linguine
1 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup fresh baby spinach
0.5 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, slice the chicken breast into bite-sized strips and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the fresh baby spinach to the skillet and toss until just wilted.
Drain the pasta, reserving 2 tablespoons of the cooking water.
Add the cooked linguine, basil pesto, lemon juice, and reserved pasta water to the skillet.
Toss everything together until the pasta is well-coated and the chicken is evenly distributed. Serve immediately.
