The other night, I was headed out to dinner with the girls and a little Liz Curtis Higgs but I didn't want to leave my family hi-n-dry for dinner! This pasta dish is a winner with my kids and throws together faster than you can put on a prom dress . . .and when is the last time we've done that? This recipe is from my mom. It easily doubles, lightens, and re-heats perfect in the microwave!
Creamy Pesto Chicken with Bow Ties
3 cups uncooked bow tie pasta (I recently found the "baby" ones and I really do like the size!)
2 TBSP butter
1 lb boneless chicken breasts, cubed*
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup pesto sauce (Classic Creations brand, or other pre-made sauce)
1/2 cup milk
Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain. Meanwhile, heat butter in a skillet. Add chicken and cook until browned, stirring often. Add the soup, pesto sauce and milk. Bring to a low boil and reduce heat to low for 5 minutes. Stir in drained pasta and heat thoroughly. Serves 4 (generous portions).
*I really prefer to add cubed grilled chicken. It's easier AND faster! When you grill, always through on an extra piece of chicken or two to have on hand for quick meals like this.
