Chicken Pesto Pasta with Blistered Tomatoes
Pan-seared chicken breast tossed with chickpea pasta and vibrant basil pesto, featuring juicy blistered tomatoes that burst with sweetness in every bite.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
0.75 cup chickpea rotini pasta
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
1 tbsp basil pesto
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp fresh basil leaves
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the same skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the skins begin to blister and pop.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chickpea pasta, sliced chicken, blistered tomatoes, and basil pesto.
Toss everything together until the pasta is thoroughly coated in the pesto sauce.
Serve immediately, garnished with the torn fresh basil leaves for a bright finish.
