Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups bow tie pasta, uncooked
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
1 -1 1/4 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cubed
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup prepared pesto sauce (I use Classico Basil Pesto Sauce)
1/2 cup milk

Steps:

  • Boil water for pasta; cook and drain.
  • Meanwhile, in a skillet, melt butter or margarine and brown cubed chicken.
  • Add soup, pesto sauce and milk to skillet; bring to a boil and cook on low for about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in pasta and heat through.

Tips:

1. Use Fresh Pesto: Fresh pesto made with basil, pine nuts, and olive oil will give the best flavor to this dish. If you don't have time to make your own, you can use store-bought pesto, but choose one with a good quality. 2. Don't Overcook the Chicken: The chicken should be cooked until it is just cooked through, but not dry. Overcooked chicken will be tough and chewy. 3. Use a Variety of Vegetables: This recipe calls for broccoli, but you can also use other vegetables such as zucchini, asparagus, or bell peppers. 4. Make it a Complete Meal: Serve this creamy pesto chicken and bow ties with a side salad or a bowl of soup for a complete meal.
