Best part? You&#8217;ll need no more than 30 minutes to make it from start to finish and you can prepare the entire meal in one large, nonstick skillet.<\/p>\n<p>Although relying on store-bought pesto helps get dinner on the table even faster, you can always up the ante by making a batch of homemade pesto if time allows. Not to mention, making fresh pesto is easy\u2014and so worth it\u2014especially if you have an abundance of fresh basil.

These liquids also help flavor and cook the pasta until it&#8217;s tender.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gemelli or spiral pasta: <\/strong>The pasta absorbs the flavor from the brothy mixture.

However, you may need to adjust the cooking times to accommodate this change; chicken breast may take slightly longer to cook than the boneless, skinless chicken thighs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use other types of protein:<\/strong> While chicken thighs are a flavorful meat, you can easily substitute them for pork chops instead. If you\u2019re a seafood lover, try adding large, shell-on shrimp. Just skip the browning step and add them during the last five minutes of cooking to avoid overcooking them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add a handful of cheese:<\/strong> For a saltier and nuttier flavor, add a handful of grated Parmesan cheese before serving each dish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add additional aromatics:<\/strong> For more depth of flavor, add additional aromatics like garlic or onions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Chicken Pesto Pasta<\/h2>\n<p>Store this pasta dish in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three to four days.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you reheat chicken pesto pasta?<\/h3>\n<p>Surprisingly, we\u2019ve found the microwave reheats pasta well. Spoon a single portion into a microwave-safe bowl, cover loosely and microwave at medium power until heated through for about two to three minutes. If you need to heat all the leftover pasta at once, place it in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until heated through. You may need to add a little water if the pasta is too dry.

Other short noodles\u2014which hold pasta sauce better due to their shape\u2014such as campanelle, penne, rotini, gomiti, orecchiette and casarecce, would work just as well. That said, we don&#8217;t suggest using long noodles like spaghetti and fettuccine since this recipe calls for several mix-ins such as cut-up chicken, broccoli and peas. The dish will be easier to eat if the size of the noodles matches the size of the mix-ins.<\/p>\n<h3>What goes well with chicken and pesto pasta?<\/h3>\n<p>Pesto pasta dishes are incredibly versatile and pair well with tons of ingredients. We suggest adding other vegetables to the mix. In this case, you\u2019ll want to pick vegetables that have a similar texture to raw broccoli so the cooking time stays consistent. Some good options include cauliflower, thinly sliced carrots or Brussels sprouts. Onion lovers can also add pearl onions or coarsely chopped white or yellow onions.<\/p>\n<h3>How to make store-bought pesto better?<\/h3>\n<p>For a heartier store-bought pesto sauce, add a splash of heavy cream, cream cheese or mascarpone and mix until melted. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice can also help brighten and highlight the herby flavors in this sauce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When my garden basil goes nuts, I make pesto
