chicken pesto with whole wheat pasta




So I made a twist on the original pesto sauce we are used to. To make it less fatty so the main thing is i used less olive oil and more flavor!






  1. 12 0z whole wheat pasta cooked


  2. 2 boneless skinless chicken breast cubed and cooked


  3. 3/4 c parmsean cheese


  4. 2 cups packed basil leaves


  5. 3 tbl pine nuts


  6. 2 tbl olive oil


  7. 2 cloves garlic crushed


  8. 1/4 tsp salt


  9. 2 tbl water


In a food processor combined basil, oil, pine nuts, garlic, salt, water and blend. Then add 1/2 cup parmesan cheese and puree. Toss with noodles and chicken over low heat top with remaing parmsean cheese and serve
