Chicken Pesto Protein Pasta
Sautéed chicken breast tossed with vibrant basil pesto and chickpea pasta, combined with juicy blistered tomatoes and wilted spinach for a clean, hearty meal.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz Chickpea pasta
4 oz Chicken breast
1 tsp Olive oil
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
1 cup Baby spinach
1.5 tbsp Basil pesto
1 tsp Lemon juice
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken, cooking until golden brown and cooked through.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and sauté for 3 minutes until they begin to blister and soften.
Stir in the baby spinach and cook just until wilted, then remove the skillet from the heat.
Drain the pasta, reserving a splash of pasta water, and add the pasta to the skillet with the chicken and vegetables.
Fold in the basil pesto and lemon juice, adding a touch of pasta water if needed to create a smooth, glossy sauce.
