Creamy Pesto Chicken

Step 1

Add salt and pepper to each side of each chicken breast.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 3 to 5 minutes on each side (depending on the thickness of the chicken) until the chicken is almost cooked through. Then transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.

Step 3

Add the butter to the same skillet and keep heat at medium-high. Add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds. Stir in the flour. Stir in the chicken broth, cream and Parmesan. Stir in the pesto and Italian seasoning. Reduce heat to a simmer, and heat until it thickens a bit. Add the cooked chicken breasts to the sauce and simmer for a few more minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

Step 4

Serve over hot cooked pasta or rice.
