Garlic Pesto Chicken with Tomato Cream Penne Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by á-24350

Number Of Ingredients 11

SAUCE:
1/2 bottle of Lawry's herb and garlic marinade
2 large spoonfuls pesto
2 boneless chicken breasts
8 ounces your choice of pasta (I used whole wheat penne)
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic
2 spoonfuls of pesto
1/2 cup of chicken broth
8 ounces tomato sauce
1 cup of half-and-half

Steps:

  • Cut chicken into one inch strips. Using same knife make slits into chicken. Pour Lawry's marinade and pesto over chicken. Marinate overnight. Boil water and start on noodles. Pour entire batch of chicken, marinade and all, into skillet and cook chicken fully. The marinade will evaporate/cook down. Heat olive oil, cook garlic. Add pesto. Simmer in chicken broth until half has cooked down. Add tomato sauce, then add milk. Simmer for 5 minutes. Toss pasta in. Add flour if it needs to be thickened. Place chicken on top.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Choose the right pasta: Penne is a classic choice for this dish, but you can also use other short pastas like rotini or macaroni.
  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Al dente pasta is best, as it will hold up well to the sauce.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Use a flavorful garlic sauce. The garlic sauce is the star of this dish, so make sure it's packed with flavor. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
  • Add some vegetables to the dish for extra nutrition and flavor. Broccoli, zucchini, and mushrooms are all good choices.
  • Serve the dish immediately with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. This will help to bring all of the flavors together.

Conclusion:

Garlic chicken penne is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. With its simple ingredients and flavorful sauce, this dish is a winner. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give garlic chicken penne a try.
