Pesto Chicken Pasta – Ash's In The Kitchen

Simple 20 minute dinner tonight because today’s been crazy and my tank’s on empty. Pulled a jar of homemade pesto out of the freezer and it was fresh as the day I made it.

2 large Chicken Breasts; cubed

Salt and Pepper to taste

16 ounces Ziti Pasta

½ cup Butter

1 small Onion; chopped

2 cloves Garlic; finely minced

½ cup Parmesan; grated

1 Tomato; cored and chopped

½ cup Pesto

Salt and Pepper to taste

  1. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and season chicken with salt and pepper. Sear the chicken on all sides then reduce heat to medium-low and cover. Cook for 5 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  2. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of liberally salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until almost al dente; about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  3. Add butter to the hot skillet and add the tomato and onion; sautéing until tender before adding the garlic, chicken, pasta, cheese and pesto. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  4. Enjoy!
