Pesto Chicken & Pasta!







Remember how I told you you'd be using that leftover pesto again soon? Well, here you go! I've made this before, and it turned out pretty good! And I really like it today, because I haven't had a chance to make it to the grocery story yet. I already have the pesto, and I keep various boxes of pasta on hand, along with cans of chicken. I also always have cream of chicken soup in my pantry. So assuming you've got the majority of ingredients in your house already, chances are pretty good you don't have to spend too much to make this meal! (You can also use actual chicken breasts for this - just cut it into chunks first. Also, it calls for bow tie pasta, but just use whatever you've got!)

Pesto Chicken & Pasta


1 box uncooked bow tie pasta
2 Tbsp butter
1 can chunk chicken, drained
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 c pesto sauce
1/2 c milk

Cook pasta according to directions. Drain, and set aside. Heat butter in skillet. Add chicken & cook until browned. Add remaining ingredients (except pasta). Bring to a boil. Cook on low about 5 min. Add pasta and heat through. Enjoy!
