Quick Fix for dinner...

Sunday, January 25, 2009


Do you ever just have one of those days where you're really hungry, but just don't want to spend lots of time cooking? That's pretty much how today went. This is a quick and yummy dinner. I buy prepared pesto. Usually I only use 1/3 to 1/2 the pint-sized jar, so I freeze the remainder for later use. You can also try adding sun-dried tomatoes or grape tomatoes, cut in half. Serve with a salad and some garlic bread. Dinner in 15 minutes!
Creamy Pesto Chicken & Bowties

3 cups bowtie pasta, cooked
2 TBSP butter
1 lb boneless chicken breast, cubed
1 can cream of mushroom soup
½ cup pesto sauce
½ cup milk

Heat butter in skillet. Add chicken, cook until browned, stirring often. Add soup, pesto and milk. Heat to boil. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes. Stir in past and heat through.

This sounds fabulous! Any recommendations on a good brand of pesto?

I get the Classico Traditional Basil Pesto. It's in a 1/2 pint mason jar. Walmart always has it for $2-3.
