Chicken Pesto Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Tender chicken breast sautéed with whole wheat penne and vibrant basil pesto, tossed with tangy sun-dried tomatoes for a burst of Mediterranean flavor.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1 oz whole wheat penne
1.5 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup baby spinach
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions until al dente, reserving 2 tablespoons of pasta water before draining.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast pieces with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 6-8 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium, add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet, and sauté for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and stir until just wilted, then turn off the heat.
Add the cooked pasta, basil pesto, and reserved pasta water to the skillet, tossing everything together until the pasta is evenly coated and glossy.
