My mom has been raving about how much she enjoys making pesto chicken pasta, so of course I have to share the recipe! My mom uses mozzarella on her recipe, but it would be good with parmesan, asiago, goat cheese, or feta. I think pretty much any cheese could work!
Ingredients:
- 3-4 chicken breasts
- Pasta of choice
- Jar of pesto
- Mozzarella cheese
- 1 T onion powder
- 1 T garlic powder
- Cherry tomatoes
- Salt and pepper
Steps:
- Season chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Slather pesto on both sides of chicken breasts and add to skillet on medium heat.
- Add tomatoes to pan with chicken. Cook until chicken is cooked through.
- Boil pasta while chicken is cooking!
- Once chicken is finished, top with cheese and cover until cheese has melted.
- Serve over pasta and enjoy!
