Pasta
Chicken

Pesto Cream Sauce
Pasta
1. Cook the Fettuccine
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Chicken
2. Prepare and Grill the Chicken
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let it rest before slicing.
Broccoli
3. Steam the Broccoli
In a steamer basket over boiling water, add the broccoli florets. Cover and steam for about 5 minutes or until bright green and tender-crisp. Remove from heat and set aside.
Pesto Cream Sauce
4. Make the Pesto Cream Sauce
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the pesto sauce and heavy cream. Stir until well combined and heated through. Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
Combine
5. Toss Everything Together
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked fettuccine, steamed broccoli, sliced grilled chicken, and pesto cream sauce. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
6. Serve
Divide the pesto chicken pasta into serving bowls and garnish with additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy!
