Cooking Instructions
- 1
Boil pasta according to packaging. Turn off heat when it’s still at a chewy texture since you’ll be tossing this later in the pesto, so as not to over cook.
Move to a bowl and set aside.I used elbow pasta as I have so much in my pantry at the moment, but I would use spaghetti or fettuccine if I'm serving guests.
- 2
Cut boiled chicken into bite size pieces. Set aside.
- 3
Sauté finely chopped garlic in oil or butter.
- 4
Drop in your chicken, sauté a few minutes. Then add the pesto.
I use this brand, choose your trusted brand for the pesto.
- 5
Season with salt, pepper, bacon drippings and cream cheese.
Add milk a few tablespoon at a time. Melt chicken broth cube while mixing in the milk.
Careful in adding the milk, check the consistency by mixing well before adding more - you don't want it to be too runny.
- 6
Taste and adjust seasonings accordingly.
- 7
When you've achieved your desired consistency of the pesto sauce, add the pasta and toss gently.
- 8
Turn off heat when al dente. Top with parmesan or any cheese and serve with toasted bread. Enjoy!
