Tried & Tasted Recipe
- 500g pasta
- 2 tbsps olive oil
- ½ medium onion
- 500g green, yellow and red peppers
- 2 chicken breasts, sliced into bite-size pieces
- 1 jar of good quality pesto sauce (homemade is even better, but won’t be as quick)
- Parmesan cheese to serve (optional)
Cook the pasta according to packet instructions.
Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp oil in a large sauce pan and fry the onions on a gentle heat until translucent; add the peppers and cook for another minute or two. Move the vegetables to one side of the pan and the pan to the side of the flame/hob, add the rest of oil and the chicken pieces, stir gently. Once the chicken is cooked, put the pan back on the heat and stir the vegetables back in.
Lightly drain the pasta (do not rinse it), add to the chicken and vegetables. Add the pesto sauce and toss gently.
Adjust seasoning and serve.
