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.
