Steps

1

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Grill the chicken until completely cooked. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and slice into strips.
2

Boil the pasta until al dente according to the package instructions. Rinse and drain pasta and set aside. (I usually pour a little milk over the drained pasta to prevent the pasta from sticking together)
3

Steam chopped broccoli and add it to the chicken and pesto mix
4

Using a large bowl, mix together the pesto, pasta and chicken. Stir until well combined and place in the refrigerator until chilled.
5

Stir in the cherry tomatoes and fresh basil immediately before serving.
Finish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
