Pesto Chicken Pasta
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pesto Make your own or grab from the grocery store like me!
- 1 14.5 oz can black olives (no pits!)
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 jar sun dried tomatoes
- 3 cups pasta (your favorite shape will do)
Instructions
-
Cook pasta according to box.
-
Cube & cook chicken with spray or a little oil. Throw a dash of salt & pepper in there too.
-
Rinse and drain your olives & tomatoes, if tomatoes are in large chunks…chop’m to your heart’s desire
-
Throw everything in a big bowl and dump your pesto in. Mix and serve! Also can be enjoyed cold!
Recipe Notes
For ideas on what to do with left over ingredients:
- Pesto – most jars have 1 full cup so use the other 1/2 for a salad dressing, on a sandwich, or coat mixed raw veggies in it and roast them
- Pasta – keep it, you’ll make pasta again soonÂ
- Chicken – since most people don’t buy packages with two chicken breasts…if you’re not using it, wrap in plastic wrap (tightly), then in foil, date it, put it in a freezer bag marked, “chicken breasts” and don’t forget about them.
