Pesto Pasta with Grilled Chicken
By spicedblog.com

This Pesto Pasta with Grilled Chicken is an easy and delicious weeknight meal. Serve it cold as a summer pasta salad or hot as a delicious winter entree!

Yield: 4 Servings

Ingredients:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
16 oz farfalle pasta
1 cup basil pesto (homemade or storebought)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup fresh basil, cut into thin strips (i.e. chiffonade)
Parmesan cheese (optional)


Instructions:

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

Grill the chicken over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes per side, or until completely cooked. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and slice into strips.

Meanwhile, boil the pasta until al dente according to the package instructions. (Note: I usually cook the pasta for 1-2 minutes less than the package suggests so that the pasta still has some texture.)
