Solo Pesto Chicken and Pasta

Served with a side dish of vegetables, this will make a filling meal for one. Cooked Shrimp could also be used. The quantities to make the sauce are just enough to coat the pasta without leaving it in a puddle.

• Ready In: 12 mins
• Serves: 1

Ingredients

• 1  boneless skinless chicken breast (OR about 1/2 cup of cooked meat)
• 1  cup  uncooked pasta (I like penne for this recipe)
• 1  tablespoon pesto sauce
• 1  tablespoon sour cream
• 1  tablespoon  shredded parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Cook the pasta in 2 quarts of salted water for about 8 minutes, and drain.
2. Cook the chicken breast whole until it reaches an internal temperature of 175°F degrees, and dice into bite size pieces.
3. Mix the pesto sauce, sour cream, and parmesan cheese in the bottom of a serving bowl, add the hot pasta and toss to coat.
4. Add the cooked chicken and toss again.
