Steps

  1. 1

    With store-bought pesto, this is very quick: Cook the pasta in a pot of boiling, salted water.

  2. 2

    Cut the chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces and brown them in a nonstick skillet lightly greased with a paper towel (the pesto already has enough oil). Season with salt.

  3. 3

    Add the pesto to the skillet and cook over medium heat while the pasta finishes cooking.

  4. 4

    Drain the pasta and toss it in the skillet with the chicken and pesto. Serve.
