Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Sautéed chicken breast and sun-dried tomatoes tossed in a vibrant basil pesto over protein-rich chickpea pasta for a savory, aromatic finish.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken breast
1 oz Chickpea penne pasta
1.5 tbsp Basil pesto
2 tbsp Sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup Baby spinach
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 clove Garlic
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Lemon juice
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente.
While pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the diced chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper, then add to the skillet.
Sauté the chicken for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet, stirring for 1 minute until fragrant.
Toss in the baby spinach and cook just until wilted.
Drain the pasta, reserving 2 tablespoons of the cooking water.
Add the cooked pasta, basil pesto, lemon juice, and reserved pasta water to the skillet.
Toss everything together over low heat until the pasta is well coated and the sauce is creamy.
