1cup(91g)broccoliblanched
½teaspoonkosher salt
¼teaspoonground black pepper
Instructions
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook pasta according to the directions on the box. Once done, drain well and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add sundried tomatoes, garlic slices, onion, and crushed red pepper flakes. Sauté until fragrant and onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the cubed chicken breast to the skillet and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the basil pesto to the skillet and turn heat down to medium-low. The basil pesto might be a bit thick so you can thin it out by adding 1 tablespoon of water to the skillet, if needed.
Add the broccoli and cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss until everything is coated in the pesto and the ingredients are all evenly distributed. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
