creamy chicken pesto. yum!



so this is one of our favorite recipes (the picture above isn't my food, i found the pic online, but it looks pretty similar to the one i make) that i like to make a couple of times a month. it's SOOOOO beyond easy and it tastes so good! jeff loves it so much that instead of going out for his birthday, he asked if i would make creamy chicken pesto instead!

Creamy Chicken Pesto **i always half this recipe.

3 cups uncooked bowtie pasta (i use penne instead)
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cubed
1 can CAMPBELL'S cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup pesto sauce
1/2 cup milk

1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain.
2. Meanwhile, heat butter in skillet. Add chicken and cook until browned, stirring often.
3. Add soup, pesto sauce and milk. Bring to a boil. Cook over low heat 5 minutes of until done. Stir in pasta and heat through.
