Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Pan-seared chicken and whole wheat penne tossed in a vibrant basil pesto, featuring sun-dried tomatoes for a sweet and chewy pop of flavor.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz boneless skinless chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked whole wheat penne pasta
1 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp chopped 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 fresh lemon juice
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked.
Slice the cooked chicken into bite-sized strips and return them to the skillet along with the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and baby spinach.
Stir in the cooked pasta, basil pesto, and lemon juice, tossing continuously until the spinach is wilted and the pasta is thoroughly coated.
