Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Pan-seared chicken breast and chickpea pasta are tossed in a vibrant basil pesto with tangy sun-dried tomatoes and wilted spinach.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz chickpea pasta
0.5 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup fresh baby spinach
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
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, cut 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 sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through.
Add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet, sautéing for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
Reduce the heat to low, add the fresh baby spinach, and stir until the leaves are just wilted.
Drain the pasta, reserving 2 tablespoons of the cooking water, then add the pasta, pesto, and reserved water to the skillet.
Toss all ingredients together until the pasta is well coated and the chicken is evenly distributed.
