Pesto Pasta with Chicken

This chicken pesto pasta is easy and delicious. Serve with crusty bread and salad for a quick dinner. Use as much or as little pesto sauce as you like. Using homemade pesto will taste even better, but it adds to prep time. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package bow tie pasta
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • ½ cup pesto sauce
  • ⅓ cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and cut into strips

Directions

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté garlic until tender.
  • Stir in chicken and season with red pepper flakes. Cook until chicken is golden and cooked through.
  • Combine pasta, chicken, pesto, and sun-dried tomatoes in a large bowl; toss to coat evenly.
