It’s Wednesday and you know what that means? Time for a hump day treat recipe that I am sure you are all going to love. I am constantly trying to find new recipes and new things to make that are different from my everyday things that I cook. I am currently really into eating pesto, but even though people say pesto is really easy to make I still buy the jar of fresh pesto from the store. Here is a recipe that I saw from Tasty on Facebook that is Garlic Chicken pesto with whole-wheat pasta.
Ingredients:
1 box of whole-wheat pasta (bow ties or penne)
1 box of cherry tomatoes, cut up
1 tablespoon of canola oil
2 chicken breasts sliced thinly
2 tablespoons of garlic chopped
½ tablespoon of kosher salt
½ tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup heavy cream
¼ cup of pesto
Parmesan cheese to garnish
Directions
- Heat a pot full of water with a little salt in it for the pasta
- Cook the pasta according to the directions on the box
- Drain the pasta and leave on the side for when you are done cooking the chicken
- Heat the oil in the pan
- Once the oil is hot put the chicken with the salt and pepper and garlic to cook until the chicken is browned
- Once the chicken is browned,mix in the heavy cream and pesto until everything is evenly combined
- Cook the chicken to a boil until the sauce has reduced for about 8 minutes
- In a bowl toss the pasta, cherry tomatoes and continue to stir until everything is evenly coated
- Sprinkle with a little bit of parmesan cheese
- ENJOY!
