This is a quick and easy recipe for a relaxed evening at home. The great thing is, this can be as elaborate or low-key as you desire. Forgive the photo, it was from a cell phone.

Ingredients
  • 3 chicken breast fillets
  • lemon-pepper seasoning
  • parsley flakes or fresh parsley
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • salt
  • 4 Tbsp. Extra Virgin olive oil + 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 lbs. Fusilli pasta (I recommend Ronzoni Smart Pasta)
  • 1 Jar Pre-made Pesto--I like Classico--(or, see below)
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • handful fresh basil
  • 2-3 cups olive oil

Directions
  1. Chop chicken breasts into 1" cubes
  2. Season liberally with lemon-pepper, parsley, salt and pepper on both sides
  3. Set 1 large pot of salted water to boil, then cook pasta about 8 min.
  4. Combine olive oil & lemon juice thoroughly, then coat bottom of a large skillet and heat on medium high until oil begins to bubble
  5. Pan fry chicken in hot oil about 5 minutes each side (I pulled a piece off and cut in half to check for pink before finishing)
  6. Once pasta is ready, drain and pour into large bowl.
  7. If making pesto from scratch, add basil, garlic, and olive oil to food processor and pulse until smooth. Add pesto to hot pasta and toss to coat
  8. Add chicken to pasta, toss lightly, and serve
