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
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.
- 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.
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.
Put the chicken into either an air-fryer or a conventional oven and cook it at 400 degrees for about 16 minutes.
After allowing the pasta to cook for however long the box says, drain the noodles.
Take out your cooked chicken and cut it up into small pieces to then add into your pasta mixture.
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.
