Pesto Chicken Linguine with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Pan-seared chicken breast and whole wheat linguine tossed in a vibrant basil pesto, featuring tangy sun-dried tomatoes and tender spinach for a bright, herbaceous finish.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz whole wheat linguine
5 oz chicken breast
1 tsp olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup baby spinach
1 tbsp basil pesto
1 tbsp pasta water
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat linguine according to package directions until al dente.
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Transfer the chicken to a cutting board, let it rest for 2 minutes, and then slice into thin strips.
In the same skillet, add the sun-dried tomatoes and baby spinach, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
Add the cooked linguine, sliced chicken, and basil pesto to the skillet, tossing with the pasta water until the sauce is creamy and well combined.
