Family Favorite Recipe: Chicken Pesto Pasta


This is one of our favorite things to have when our herb garden is growing out of control. We love fresh pesto and it's really easy to make. Combine your pesto along with some baked chicken and spaghetti, and you have a yummy week night meal.

Ingredients

Fresh pesto (recipe here) or jarred pesto
Boneless, skinless chicken
1 1/2 cups Bread Crumbs
Flour for breading
2 eggs
Spaghetti
Parmesan cheese 

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Prepare your pesto mixture

Pound your chicken thin and season with some salt and pepper if desired

Coat the chicken pieces in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Bake the chicken for 10-15 minutes per side. While chicken is baking, prepare your pasta.

Once the chicken is done, slice and add to cooked spaghetti. Toss the spaghetti with pesto and add Parmesan cheese to taste. Enjoy!
