Description
I sometimes substitute chicken broth for half the heavy cream called for in the recipe to reduce calories. I also use additional Parmesan.
Ingredients
- 1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves – cut into thin strips
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 ¼ cups heavy cream
- ¼ cup pesto
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
- Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute chicken and garlic until chicken is almost cooked. Reduce heat and stir in salt
- pepper
- cream
- pesto and Parmesan cheese. Cook until chicken is no longer pink inside. Stir in cooked pasta.
