Broccoli Chicken Pesto Pasta image

When there is no time to cook for my family, I whip up something so easy that my youngest in college can make for his roommates. It's quick and simple. You may grill your own chicken breast and use fresh broccoli.

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

10 ounces basil pesto
1 lb penne pasta
1 lb broccoli, cut into small florets or 10 ounces frozen chopped broccoli
2 (6 ounce) tyson grilled chicken breast strips
3 ounces shredded parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Cut the fresh broccoli buds into small florets, leaving as short a stem as possible; set aside.
  • Meanwhile, boil the pasta in salted water for about 4-5 mins or until al dente. Remaining 3 mins add the reserved florets into the same pot and boil 3 minutes, retaining the bright green color and a bit of crunch. Then place the chicken breast strips into the same pot just to warm it up about a minute. If you're using frozen you can wait until 3 mins are remaining. Add the chicken first that frozen broccoli.
  • Drain pasta, broccoli and chicken. Pour warm sauce over the pasta and stir gently to combine; plate and sprinkle with shredded parmasan cheese or your choice of cheese.

This recipe was a disaster! The pasta was overcooked and the pesto was too salty.

I thought this dish was just okay. The pesto was a little too oily for my liking.

I've tried many pesto pasta recipes, but this one is by far the best. The combination of broccoli and chicken is perfect and the pesto is so creamy and flavorful.
