Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Pan-seared chicken and chickpea pasta tossed in a vibrant basil pesto with tangy sun-dried tomatoes and wilted spinach for a savory finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken breast
1.25 oz Chickpea pasta
1 tbsp Basil pesto
2 tbsp Sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup Fresh spinach
0.5 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 clove Garlic
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente.
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 add the chicken, searing until golden brown and cooked through.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes, sautéing for one minute until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and toss gently until the leaves are just wilted.
Drain the pasta, reserving a splash of pasta water, and add the pasta to the skillet along with the basil pesto.
Toss everything together until well-coated, adding a bit of pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce, and serve immediately.
