Chicken Pesto Pasta

**Mandy**'s Note:

This is a nice simple to prepare & tasty pasta, if you don't have sun-dried tomatoes just use some fresh chopped ones & you can also experiment with different flavoured pestos, I usually use basil pesto but will be trying sun-dried tomato pesto next time.

Very good recipe! We left out the cream as we did not have any but the recipe will certainly be used again.
