Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta

I got this recipe while searching online but I don't remember where I found it. This meal is a lot quicker than I expected and tastes so good! It is definitely one that will be made often at my house.


Side note: I made this for St. Patrick's Day so the sauce in the pictures is a lot more green than it's supposed to be =]  Also, I just used a rotisserie chicken and served it on the side but it is delicious if you combine it all together as well. 

Chicken Pesto Pasta
Total time: 35 minutes
Servings: 3-4

• 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup pesto
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1/2 box cooked pasta - I used garden rotini
• 3 cups cooked chicken shredded or chopped

1. Cook and chop/shred chicken and place in large mixing bowl.
2. Prepare pasta to your liking, combine with cooked chicken and set aside.
3. Boil the heavy cream, stirring constantly, it will boil quickly. Continue boiling on medium heat for 4-5 minutes until it thickens up.
4. Add pesto and most of the cheese. Stir until cheese is melted. 
5. Add salt and pepper to taste.
6. Pour creamy pesto sauce over pasta and chicken, stir to combine and top with remaining cheese.
