Penne with Pesto Cream Sauce and Chicken!!

This is what I made for Bunko for all of you that were there. If you can't tell by now I pretty much LOVE anything that has heavy cream in it! =) This one is super easy but it's best to serve right away. If it sits out too long it dries out a little! I usually make my chicken ahead of time so then the longest part is boiling the noodles! Even though it's best right when you make it, the leftovers are pretty dang good too!

  • Garlic Powder
  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • 1/3 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream (I usually use about a cup or even more so the pasta is coated well)
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter ( or margarine )
  • Store Bought Pesto
  • 12 ounces penne pasta
  • 1/3 Cup of diced tomato
  • 1 Tablespoon of sun – dried tomatoes diced (I only use fresh tomatoes)
What To Do
Cook pasta as instructed on the box. Drizzle a little oil after pasta has been drained
Cook chicken ( season with salt, pepper; garlic powder) and slice into bite size pieces.
In a medium-size saucepan heat cream and butter. Stir in pesto ( about 3 oz).
Combine pasta, sauce, chicken, cheese; tomatoes.
Season to taste
Enjoy
