Grilled Chicken Rigatoni With Pesto Alfredo Sauce image

This is one of my favorites. Great with a crusty loaf of french bread! Would also be tasty with shrimp or scallops instead of the chicken. You can adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your liking. The cooking time is for the rigatoni. I give directions for grilling the chicken with an indoor grill, but you can grill or cook the chicken any way you prefer.

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts

  • Slowly whisk in the flour until smooth and pasty.
  • Add milk gradually, whisking well after each small addition, then until no clumps can be seen.
  • Add the sundried tomatoes.
  • Heat over medium, whisking constantly, until heated and thick (sauce will thicken the more you cook it).
  • Add the pesto sauce and mix well.
  • Sprinkle the parmesan in, and whisk.
  • Add the crushed garlic,chopped tomato, white (or black) pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  • Remove from heat, and add salt to taste.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this dish was a disaster. The chicken was burnt and the sauce was curdled.

This dish was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the sauce was a bit too salty.
