Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Tender sautéed chicken and whole wheat penne tossed in a vibrant basil pesto with tangy sun-dried tomatoes and wilted spinach.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz whole wheat penne
1 tbsp basil pesto
1 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 tsp lemon juice
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken to the skillet and sauté until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 6 to 8 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked pasta, basil pesto, and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet.
Stir in the baby spinach and toss gently until the leaves are just wilted from the residual heat.
Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavors and serve immediately.
