Pesto Chicken Linguine with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Sautéed chicken breast and whole wheat linguine tossed in a vibrant basil pesto with tangy sun-dried tomatoes and wilted spinach for a savory, nutrient-dense meal.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz Chicken breast
1.25 oz Whole wheat linguine
1 tbsp Basil pesto
2 tbsp Sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup Baby spinach
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat linguine according to package directions until al dente.
Reserve 1 tablespoon of the starchy pasta water before draining the noodles.
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and julienned sun-dried tomatoes, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and toss gently for 30 seconds until it just begins to wilt.
Return the sliced chicken and cooked linguine to the skillet, then add the basil pesto and the reserved pasta water.
Toss all ingredients together until the pasta is coated in a glossy green sauce and serve immediately.
