Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Pan-seared chicken breast tossed with chickpea pasta and vibrant basil pesto, featuring tangy sun-dried tomatoes for a burst of savory flavor.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz Chicken breast
1 oz Chickpea pasta
1 tbsp Basil pesto
2 tbsp Sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup Baby spinach
0.5 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Lemon juice
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions.
While pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Remove chicken from the pan, let it rest for 2 minutes, then slice into bite-sized strips.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and toss until just wilted.
Drain the pasta, reserving 1 tablespoon of pasta water, and add both to the skillet.
Stir in the basil pesto, lemon juice, and sliced chicken, tossing everything until evenly coated and warm.
