Sunday Supper....Herb Garlic Basil Pesto Chicken

Sorry that you have not heard from me in a few weeks. There has been a lot happening around the Davenport home, but I am back and ready to share a Pinterest recipe I fell upon.  It is amazing, because the flavors linger long after the meal is finished along with the compliments.


Herb Garlic Pesto Chicken

Serves: 6    Prep Time:  10 minutes  Cook Time: 30 Minutes  Level of Difficulty: Medium

Ingredients:



First, cut up 3 whole boneless chicken breast into strips and put into zip lock bag.  I prefer organic when you can :)
Pour a half of bottle of herb and garlic marinade in

Add 3 tablespoons of basil pesto...let marinade for 6 to 8 hours or overnight. Throw your chicken
and all the marinade into a pan set on med-high. Cook until done which is about 8 to 10 minutes.

Also, one box of Penne Pasta is needed, not seen in the photograph of ingredients, because I forgot to invite the Penne to the portrait party :)

Now make your sauce :)


Sauce:

3 gloves of diced garlic

2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil

2 Tablespoon of Basil Pesto

1 cup of tomato sauce

1/2 cup chicken broth

1/2 cup half & half

Sauté your garlic in your olive oil

 Now, add your chicken broth and allow to reduce by half....

Pour in your tomato sauce and allow it to become buddies with the broth...





Now the half & half wants to play... so add your half :)

Allow to simmer....While your sauce is simmering, cook your penne....Add your cooked pasta and cooked chicken to your sauce. Then, serve it up to your family and watch the incredible reaction from the lucky people at your table tonight. This will become one of your families favs I promise :) Feed back is encouraged around here :)
