CHICKEN PESTO PENNE
We had a wonderful pasta dish at a local restaurant and I have spent time recreating and (blush blush) I think improving on it. This is not low fat, but it is nice for a once in a while treat. If you want to indulge even more, perhaps for company, (and make it taste even better) use full fat cream instead of the half and half! I use bought, jarred pesto but homemade would be even better. I hope you enjoy it!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7.
- Drizzle the chicken breasts with olive oil, season and wrap in kitchen foil. Bake in the oven for around 15-16 minutes until cooked through. (Note that if the chicken breast is larger than specified, it may take longer to cook. A 150-200g/5½-7oz skinless chicken breast fillet will need 16-18 minutes; a 200-250g/7-9oz one 18-20 minutes; and a 250-300g/9-10½ one 20-22 minutes. If cooking more than four breasts at a time, increase the cooking time by 5 minutes, and don't forget to check that each breast is cooked through.) Alternatively you can poach the chicken - place the chicken in a pan along with the peeled onion and carrot and cover with 2.5cm/1in cold water. Bring to a simmer, add a good pinch of salt and poach for 10-15 minutes, with a lid on, until the chicken is completely cooked.
- While the chicken is cooking, make the pesto. If you are using a pestle and mortar, start by pounding the garlic and salt to a rough paste, then add the pine nuts, then basil, then oil, and pound to a consistency you like. Stir in the cheese to finish. If you are working in a food processor you can blend the garlic, salt, pine nuts, basil and oil all together, and once you have a consistency you like, stir in the cheese.
- Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest until cool enough to handle, then shred into a large mixing bowl and toss gently with the pesto.
- Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, and boil the pasta until al dente. Drain the pasta, saving a cup of pasta cooking water. Combine the pasta with the chicken and pesto, and toss together, adding a bit of pasta water if it needs loosening. Serve.

Steps:
- Meanwhile, pluck the basil leaves from the stems (you should have about 2 cups leaves). Wash the leaves in a large bowl of cold water and dry in a salad spinner or pat dry with paper towels. Smash and peel the garlic.
- Put the basil, garlic, and pine nuts in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. With the processor running, gradually add the olive oil and process until the pesto is smooth. Transfer the pesto to a large bowl and stir in the cheese. Season with the salt and some pepper.
- Bring a large pot of cold water to a boil over high heat and salt it generously. Add the penne and boil, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain in a colander and save about 1/4 cup pasta cooking water. Add the pasta to the bowl. Use tongs and toss with enough of the cooking water so the pesto coats the pasta evenly. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.
- Upgrades: a. Make the pesto creamy by adding 1/4 cup ricotta cheese when processing the basil, garlic, and pine nuts. This is great with tortellini or ravioli. b. Top dressed pesto pasta with 1/2 pound diced large or halved small fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini), 3 medium tomatoes cut in large chunks, and 1/2 cup pitted black olives, (we like kalamata for this), roughly chopped. c. Add cooked 1 to 2 cups chicken or shrimp.
- Twists on Pesto: In place of basil, try the following combination: 1 cup parsley, 1 cup fresh spinach leaves, 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves, 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves. Substitute walnuts for the pine nuts

- I love a good chicken pasta recipe. Both ingredients are easy to cook, and are great blank canvases that work with all kinds of other flavors. Here I show you a recipe for Chicken Penne Pesto, which has become a staple in my house. Pesto sauce is one of my favorite pasta sauces, for it’s great basil/garlic flavor, it’s texture, and of course the vibrant green color. I show you how to make a fresh basil pesto in the video, but you can also use a good store-bought version, or even better, when you do make pesto, freeze some, and just pull it out of the freezer an hour before you want to use it. You can also save some time if you have some leftover chicken from a previous meal, but even it not, you can saute a chicken breast in 5 or 6 minutes. Hope you enjoy this Chicken Penne Pesto recipe as much as I do! Recipe Overview & Keys to Success To make the best Chicken Penne Pesto, just follow these few cooking techniques:
- I like making this recipe with penne, but you can use other pasta shapes. No matter what pasta you use, don’t overcook it. Start tasting the penne about a minute or two before the package's suggested cooking time, and pull it out as soon as it’s al dente As I mention above, you can certainly buy pesto, but the homemade version I show you here is going to be much better and fresh tasting Don’t cook the pesto sauce. To maintain the bright color and flavors in the pesto, you really shouldn’t cook it. Rather, simply combine it with the hot pasta, and toss off the direct heat Drizzle some additional olive oil over everything prior to serving. The oil adds some lubrication that prevents the penne from clumping, and it adds additional flavors. Also, make sure to season with salt and pepper, taste and re-season if needed before serving.
- 1 chicken breast, cooked and diced 1/3 lbs of penne pasta 1 bunch (3 – 4 cups) fresh basil 2 garlic cloves 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese 2 tablespoons pinenuts 1 lemon Extra virgin olive oil
