Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Sautéed chicken breast and whole wheat penne tossed in a vibrant basil pesto with tangy sun-dried tomatoes and wilted spinach for a savory, nutrient-dense meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup whole wheat penne
1 tbsp basil pesto
1 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup baby spinach
1 clove garlic
0.5 tsp olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat penne in boiling salted water according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side.
Remove the chicken from the skillet, let it rest for 2 minutes, then slice into thin 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 for 30 seconds until just wilted.
Return the cooked pasta and sliced chicken to the skillet, then stir in the basil pesto until everything is evenly coated and warmed through.
