Ingredients

2 cooked chicken breasts - cut into bite sized chunks 200g fresh pasta 60g sundried tomatoes - chopped 150g fresh spinach 2tbsp green pesto 50g pine nuts

Instructions

  1. First fully cook chicken breasts in the frying pan on a medium heat
  2. In a separate saucepan, fill it with hot water and cook the fresh pasta for 3 minutes until cooked
  3. Add the spinach to the pan with the chicken and allow to wilt
  4. Add the sundried tomatoes and allow to cook for 2 minutes with the chicken and spinach
  5. Place the cooked and drained pasta into the frying pan and then stir in the green pesto - make sure you use a plastic spoon for this or mix it in with your spatula, as a metal spoon may scratch the pan’s non-stick surface
  6. Finally, stir in your pine nuts and serve.
The combination of savory chicken, nutty pine nuts, and flavorful pesto sauce creates a delicious and well-balanced dish. The addition of spinach also provides a boost of nutrition and adds a pop of color to the pasta. With just a few ingredients and minimal prep time, you can whip up a tasty and satisfying meal in no time.
