Step 1

Cook the pasta according to it’s package directions. Before draining the pasta, reserve 1/4 cup of the starchy cooking liquid.

Step 2

As the pasta cooks, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add the chicken, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat the chicken. Cook for 6-8 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through, stirring occasionally. Remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 3

Add the cooked and drained pasta and the pesto to the skillet with the chicken. Stir well.

Step 4

To loosen up the sauce, add some of the reserved starchy cooking liquid, if needed.
