Pesto Chicken Linguine with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Pan-seared chicken breast tossed with al dente linguine and a vibrant basil pesto, featuring tangy sun-dried tomatoes for a burst of Mediterranean flavor.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken breast
1.25 oz Whole wheat linguine
1 tbsp Basil pesto
2 tbsp Sun-dried tomatoes
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 cup Baby spinach
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Lemon juice
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine until al dente, reserving two tablespoons of pasta water before draining.
Season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the pan, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it into thin strips.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, sautéing for one minute until the aroma is released.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and toss for 30 seconds until it begins to wilt.
Turn off the heat and add the cooked pasta, sliced chicken, basil pesto, and lemon juice to the pan.
Toss thoroughly to coat, adding the reserved pasta water as needed to achieve a smooth, glossy consistency.
