Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Sautéed chicken breast and brown rice pasta 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
1 oz Brown rice penne pasta
1.5 tbsp Basil pesto
2 tbsp Sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup Baby spinach
1 tsp Olive oil
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the brown rice penne according to package directions, reserving 2 tablespoons of pasta water before draining.
Season the chicken breast 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 5-6 minutes per side until cooked through and golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the pan, let it rest for 2 minutes, then slice into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the cooked pasta, sliced chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, and baby spinach.
Stir in the basil pesto and the reserved pasta water, tossing everything together until the spinach is wilted and the pasta is evenly coated.
