Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic minced
  • 1/2 large white onion sliced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes sliced
  • 1/2 cup kalamata olives pitted and sliced
  • 2 cups spinach
  • 1 cup hummus
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 3 chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup pesto
  • 1/2 cup feta crumbled
  • 375 g fettuccini

Instructions

  • Barbecue your chicken breasts and then let cool in your kitchen in a medium bowl. Toss chicken breasts in pesto and slice when cooled.
  • Cook fettuccini in a pot on medium heat until al dente. Strain and rest noodles in the sink.
  • In a large frying pan add oil and cook garlic and onion on medium heat until golden brown, 3-5 minutes. Add sun-dried tomatoes, kalamata olives and spinach, stirring for 3 minutes until your spinach has wilted. Add hummus, lemon juice, white wine, and chicken stock, stirring slowly until fully incorporated and reduced, 5-7 minutes on medium/low heat.
  • Once your sauce has thickened add cooked fettuccini to your pan and toss to fully incorporate. Serve noodles in individual bowls and top with slicked chicken breasts and crumbled feta.
