What's for Dinner?! ~ Pesto Chicken with Penne Pasta & Salad

in #food7 years ago

Tonight was a quick dinner. We had pesto chicken with penne pasta and a side salad. I roughly cubed some chicken breast with some onions, bell peppers and garlic in a little olive oil until the chicken was done. Added the basil pesto which is from my freezer, some parmesan cheese, pasta and a little of the pasta water. Mixed until heated through.

Side salad of leafy greens, green onions, carrots, celery, tomatoes and topped with some blue cheese chunks. I got a big container of blue cheese at Sam's. It is very mild and not sure if I like it. Still, salad was good.

Hoping this gives you some ideas of what to make for dinner. Have a good evening..

The pesto chicken pasta sounds really good! Possibly because I'm heading home for dinner and hungry! Those flavors definitely hit the spot though. My wife does most of our shopping at Trader Joe's, and that is on the list!

Hope you have a great dinner @drstevegilbert Yes, we love pesto chicken. I wish we had a Trader Joe's near us.

Yummm, I love pesto and love pasta a bit too much lol. I know this was delicious.

Keep cooking for me Tess!
