LINGUINE PESTO WITH ITALIAN CHICKEN STRIPS RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Linguine Pesto with Italian Chicken Strips Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by WaffleCrumbs

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 oz. linguine
3 garlic herb chicken breasts, cut into strips or chicken breasts seasoned with italian herbs
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
3/4 c. frozen corn, thawed
1 (3 1/2 oz.) jar prepared pesto
1/4 c. seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 t. crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 t. pepper
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Cook linguine according to package directions, drain. Add chicken, cheese, corn, pesto, bread crumbs, red pepper flakes, salt & pepper. Toss to coat. *When I made this dish, it was VERY dry once all the ingredients were added. Possibly because I used less than the 3.5 oz. pesto? If you find this to be the case with yours, add a bit of chicken broth to moisten. You could also keep some of the water the pasta is boiled in and use that.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 tablespoons pesto
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 pound chicken breast tenderloins
1 cup panko bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Whisk pesto and mayonnaise together in a bowl. Dredge both sides of each chicken tender in the pesto mixture and coat with bread crumbs. Arrange tenders on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Turn chicken pieces and continue baking until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh basil, pine nuts, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese are essential for making a flavorful pesto sauce. If you can, use ingredients from your garden or a local farmer's market.
  • Make the pesto sauce ahead of time: Pesto sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. This makes it a great option for busy weeknights.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts can easily become dry and tough if overcooked. Cook them over medium heat until they are just cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side.
  • Add vegetables to the pasta: Vegetables such as broccoli, zucchini, or sun-dried tomatoes can be added to the pasta for a more colorful and nutritious dish.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh basil, parsley, or thyme can be used to garnish the pasta before serving. This adds a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Linguine pesto with Italian chicken strips is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The combination of creamy pesto sauce, tender chicken, and al dente pasta is sure to please everyone at the table. This dish is also versatile and can be easily customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying pasta dish, give this recipe a try.
