Chicken Pesto Pasta

Found this recipe on Allrecipes.com. A very simple recipe for a tasty, satisfying pasta meal. You can make your own homemade pesto, or use store-bought for a quick and easy dinner. I also have used frozen grilled chicken breast strips for a quick and easy meal.

Ingredients

• 1 (16 ounce) package bow tie pasta
• 1  teaspoon olive oil
• 2  garlic cloves, minced
• 2  boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
•  crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
• 1⁄3 cup sun-dried tomato packed in oil, drained and cut into strips

Directions

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute garlic until tender, then stir in chicken. Season with red pepper flakes. Cook until chicken is golden, and cooked through.
3. In a large bowl, combine pasta, chicken, sun-dried tomatoes and pesto. Toss to coat evenly.
