Steps

1h 10min

1

Dice the chicken breast into mini cubes and roast it in a pan, starting on high heat, and then lowering it as time goes by.
Of course, add salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
(After roasting it, set it aside as you might need it later on the recipe)
2

In a pot melt around 20 grams of butter, as the butter is completely melted, go ahead and add 2 tbsp of flour and whisk them continuously by adding water little by little.
3

In a bowl, add 2 cheese triangles, add the milk and work it with a fork to break down the cheese triangles
4

Once that is done, add it to the flour butter and water mixture and whisk continuously.
If the sauce is too thin, you might add 1 tbsp of flour. If it's too thick, you can add water, but slowly check the texture of the sauce. You would want the sauce to be somewhere in between (not too thin, not too thick)
5

Let the sauce cook before adding pesto for about 10 to 15 minutes, but whisk it regularly as such types of sauces might stick to the pot.
6

In a different pot, put water to boil the seaweed pasta. And let them boil for 25 minutes.
7

Meanwhile, to the sauce, add the pesto and whisk it continuously by checking the consistency of the sauce. Let it cook for about 5 to 10 minutes before adding the diced roasted chicken breast.
8

After adding the chicken breast, lower the heat bring to level 2 or 1 and set it aside as the pasta is cooking.
If the consistency of the sauce is too thick, feel free to add a little pasta water but check as you're adding it so you don't make it too thin.

Once it's done, simply serve it, by adding the sauce on top of the seaweed pasta and enjoy it!
