One Pot Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta
This super lush and Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta is perfect for busy weeknights. Everything cooks in one pot and is done in under 30 minutes! FULL RECIPE BELOW. ????
PRINTABLE RECIPE:
INGREDIENTS
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast ($5.56)
2 Tbsp butter ($0.26)
2 cloves garlic ($0.16)
1/2 lb. penne pasta ($0.40)
1.5 cups chicken broth ($0.20)
1 cup milk ($0.32)
3 oz. cream cheese ($0.29)
1/3 cup basil pesto ($0.73)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan ($0.44)
freshly cracked pepper ($0.03)
1 pinch crushed red pepper ($0.02)
OPTIONAL ADD-INS
3 cup fresh spinach ($0.90)
1/4 cup sliced sun dried tomatoes ($1.10)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch pieces. Add the butter to a deep skillet and melt over medium heat. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook over medium heat until the chicken is slightly browned on the outside.
2. While the chicken is cooking, mince the garlic. Add the garlic to the skillet with the chicken and continue to sauté for one minute more.
3. Add the uncooked pasta and chicken broth to the skillet with the chicken and garlic. Stir to dissolve any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Place a lid on the skillet, turn the heat up to medium-high, and bring the broth up to a boil.
4. Once the broth comes to a full boil, give the pasta a quick stir, replace the lid, and turn the heat down to medium-low. Let the pasta simmer over medium-low heat for about 8 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and most of the broth has been absorbed. Stir the pasta briefly every two minutes as it simmers, replacing the lid quickly each time.
5. Once the pasta is tender and most of the broth absorbed, add the milk, cream cheese (cut into chunks), and pesto. Stir and cook over medium heat until the cream cheese has fully melted into the sauce. Finally, add the grated Parmesan and stir until combined.
6. If using, add the fresh spinach and sliced sun dried tomatoes. Stir until the spinach has wilted, then remove the pasta from the heat. Top the pasta with freshly cracked pepper and a pinch of crushed red pepper, then serve.

Creamy Pesto Chicken With Pasta | Pesto Chicken Pasta Recipe | MOLCS Easy Recipes
Creamy Pesto Chicken w/Pasta
1 1/2 lbs Chicken Cutlet -diced
1 Medium Red Onion -sliced
1 C Pesto Sauce - recipe below or you can buy pre-made
1 C Parmesan Cheese
2 C Heavy Cream
1 lb Pasta - your choice
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
2 Tbsp Butter
Olive Oil
Cook pasta to al dente and set aside.
In saucepan add butter and a drizzle of olive oil, add chicken, onions & black pepper, you may have to do this in 2 batches as not to overcrowd the pan. Once cooked set aside. Add heavy cream to pan and heat just until it comes to a boil, add pesto and parmesan cheese, stir until well combined. Add chicken back to pan, stir in the pasta and serve.
Pesto Sauce
2 C Fresh Basil - stems removed
3-4 Cloves Garlic
1/3 C Pine Nuts - toasted
1/2 C Parmesan Cheese
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Pepper
1/2 C Olive Oil
In food processor or blender add basil, garlic, pine nuts, parmesan cheese, salt & pepper, pulse 5 or 6 times until course mixture forms. Turn on low and slowly drizzle in the olive oil.
To store, keep in tightly sealed jar or container. Be sure to cover with olive oil so the basil doesn't
turn black. I also put a piece of plastic wrap over the pesto before I seal the lid.
Keep refrigerated up to 7 days or you can freeze up to 4 months.

Makes - 5 (1 litre) Containers
My Meal Prep Glass Containers -
Chicken & Pasta -
2 Tbsp (40ml) - Olive Oil (Divided)
750g (1.6lbs) - Chicken Breast or Thigh (See Note)
2 tsp (5g) - Onion Powder
2 tsp (5g) - Garlic Powder
Seasoning To Taste
750g (1.6lbs) - Penne or Pasta of Choice
Basil Pesto -
2-3 - Garlic Cloves, Minced (See Note)
30g (1.06oz) - Parmesan Cheese, Freshly Grated
30g (1.06oz) - Pinenuts, Toasted (See Note)
1/2 - Lemon, Juiced
2 - Bunches Basil, Picked + Stems, Chopped
1/2 Cup (125ml) - Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Seasoning To Taste
Recipe Notes -
Chicken Thigh -
If using chicken thigh, sear for 4 minutes on each side and instead of baking for 13 minutes, do so for 16 minutes.
Garlic -
The flavour from 2 garlic cloves would be enough for most palettes. If you really like garlic, use 3 cloves. Like is said in the video, it's easy to add but once in, it cant be removed.
Pinenuts -
Pinenuts can be very expensive and can be substituted with a wide range of nuts such as macadamia, almonds, cashews and walnuts and pistachios. If allergies are a concern, they can be left out completely.
To store, place the containers in the fridge for up to 4 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight, before reheating or taking it out with you.
*It’s recommended to freeze and thaw overnight when needed, especially if you know you won't eat it all within the 3-day time period*
To heat, place in the microwave, pop the air vent on the lid of the container and heat in bursts until the chicken is hot in the centre.
