Vibrant chicken and veggie pasta with basil pesto. Simple, quick, elegant.
Ingredients:
  • 0.5 pound linguine pasta
  • 1 (8 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into small pieces
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 whole garlic cloves
  • 4 ounces fresh mushrooms, halved
  • 6 ounces roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
  • 1 (7.5 ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
  • 3 ounces fresh spinach leaves
  • 0.25 cup prepared basil pesto, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided
Instructions:
  • 1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add linguine and cook uncovered until al dente, about 11 minutes. Drain thoroughly in a colander in the sink.
  • Season chicken with salt and pepper while pasta cooks. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown chicken in olive oil for 10 minutes, stirring often. Add garlic, mushrooms, roasted red peppers, and artichoke hearts. Simmer until mushrooms release juices, about 5-8 minutes. Add spinach and simmer until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  • Scoop the cooked linguine into a bowl, mix in the basil pesto. Serve the pasta on 2 plates, top with the chicken mixture, and sprinkle Parmesan cheese over each plate before serving.
