Pesto Chicken Pasta



Seriously, you cannot take just one bite of this pasta dish. Our old neighbors, Laura and John Bowman, would have us over for dinner and one night Laura WOWed us with this dish. Lee and I could not get out how much we liked it b/c our mouth was stuffed full until we cleaned our plates. It is so easy and it has baby corn in it!! Who doesn't love baby corn?! It's nice to have a baby corn dish that isn't Chinese. So I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we did!!


2-3 big chicken breasts (we like less bc we like more veggies)
1-2 cans baby corn (break into small pieces)
1-2 cans artichoke hearts- quartered
1-2 Bertoli pesto tubs
1 box medium shells or pasta of choice (boil whole box but I usually only end up using ¾)
Garlic salt
cracked black pepper
olive oil
grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Boil noodles while cooking other ingredients. 

In large pan sauté baby corn & artichoke hearts in olive oil, season with pepper and garlic salt real well. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, to soften veggies.

Add cut up chicken. Add more garlic salt and pepper (this is really where the flavor comes from besides the pesto, we like ours really seasoned)

Cook until chicken is done.

Add Pesto. Stir, and fold pasta into mixture!

Top with grated parmesan cheese (optional)

Serve with Garlic Bread and a salad!
