Walnut Pesto Chicken With Garlic and Parmesan

This is my own recipe I just made today and it was delicious ^^ So please try it out. It is freakin delicious!

• Ready In: 45 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• Pesto

• 2  cups fresh basil leaves (packed)
• 1⁄3 cup parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
• 1⁄2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1⁄3 cup walnuts (chopped)
• 3  garlic cloves (medium sized, minced)
• 1  teaspoon kosher salt
• 1  teaspoon white pepper

• Chicken

• 2  lbs chicken breasts (Diced, Boneless, Skinless)
• 3  garlic cloves (smashed)
• 1  lb  egg noodles

Directions

1. Combine the basil in with the walnuts, pulse a few times in a food processor. Add the garlic, salt and pepper then pulse a few times more.
2. Slowly add the olive oil in a constant stream while the food processor is on. Stop to scrape down the sides of the food processor with a rubber spatula. Add the grated cheese and pulse again until blended.
3. If the chicken is frozen, then cook the chicken in about a half cup of water till it is thawed enough to dice into cubes. Smash the garlic and add to the water and finish cooking the chicken.
4. Boil a pot of water and add the egg noodles and cook to desired softness, I like mine a little al dente so it only took about 6 minutes. Drain the water from the noodles and chicken and mix it all together with the pesto.
