Introduction: Pesto Chicken Pasta

This is a recipe on how to make pesto chicken pasta.

Supplies

  • 2 Pots, 1 for the pasta, and the other for the sauce.
  • spatula
  • strainer
  • measuring cups
  • chicken breast
  • seasonings for chicken
  • noodles
  • pesto
  • heavy cream

Step 1:

Start off by marinating a pound and a half of a chicken breast. It is best to allow it to marinate as long as you can. For this you will need to combine 1/3 cup of basil pesto ½ to 1 teaspoon of each salt, pepper, and lemon pepper.


Step 2:

  • 1/3 cup basil pesto 
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan
  • ½ cup of heavy cream 

Stir together a tablespoon of butter, heavy cream, parmesan, and basil pesto into a small pot and stir occasionally. 


Step 3:

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and salt it well with about 1 tablespoon of salt. Drop the pasta in the boiling water and cook until done.

Step 4:

Put the chicken into either an air-fryer or a conventional oven and cook it at 400 degrees for about 16 minutes.  

Step 5:

After allowing the pasta to cook for however long the box says, drain the noodles.

Step 6:

Take out your cooked chicken and cut it up into small pieces to then add into your pasta mixture.

Step 7:

stir in the cooked pasta, and sauce and parmesan. Stir until everything is well combined. If it looks a bit dry, add a splash of the pasta cooking water (a couple tablespoons at a time) until the pasta is glossy and coated in the creamy sauce.
