Chicken Pesto Pasta

Ingredients

Gather your ingredients like you’re collecting the Infinity Stones because each one plays a vital role in creating this heavenly dish. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 8 oz. penne pasta
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (leftovers work great!)
  • 1 cup broccoli, steamed
  • 1 cup pesto sauce (homemade or store-bought, no judgment here!)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Now, let’s get our chef hats on and bring this dish to life! Follow these simple steps for a dish that even Gordon Ramsay would give a nod of approval:

  1. First, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Toss in your penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Don’t forget to stir occasionally, so they don’t stick together like awkward dance partners!
  2. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and set aside. Make sure not to bring the pasta too close to your eyes; you don’t want tears when you’re trying to impress!
  3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the steamed broccoli, shredded chicken, and halved cherry tomatoes. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, letting those flavors mingle like old friends catching up.
  4. Now, it’s time to bring in the star of the show: the pesto! Stir in the pesto sauce until everything is well-coated and colorful.
  5. Toss in the cooked penne pasta and mix gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste, because no one likes a bland pasta party!
  6. Finally, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top like confetti at a birthday party and serve warm. Voila! Your Chicken Pesto Pasta is ready to rock and roll.

Now sit back, take a bite, and let the deliciousness take you on a flavor journey like no other. Enjoy!
