Chicken And Pesto Pasta Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Chop chicken breasts into 1" cubes
  • Season liberally with lemon-pepper, parsley, salt and pepper on both sides
  • Set 1 large pot of salted water to boil, then cook pasta about 8 min.
  • Combine olive oil & lemon juice thoroughly, then coat bottom of a large skillet and heat on medium high until oil begins to bubble
  • 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)
  • Once pasta is ready, drain and pour into large bowl.
  • 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
  • Add chicken to pasta, toss lightly, and serve
