Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces penne pasta
  • 2 chicken breasts boneless, skinless, diced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 cup pesto sauce
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Basil leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cherry tomatoes. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes start to soften.
  • Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet, then stir in the pesto sauce and heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Simmer the sauce for 1-2 minutes until heated through and slightly thickened.
  • Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta in the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the pasta is heated through.
  • Serve the chicken pesto pasta hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves.
