Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion chopped, small
- 3 garlic minced, cloves
- 12 ounces chicken thighs boneless, skinless, and diced, or breasts
- 3 cups chicken broth
- ¼ cup heavy cream or half & half
- 12 ounces penne pasta
- ⅓ cup pesto store-bought or homemade pesto
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese more for serving
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook for about 3 minutes, add the garlic, and continue cooking until the onions have softened.
- Add the chicken pieces to the pan and cook, for about 5 minutes, long enough to sear on all sides.
- Slowly pour in the chicken broth and cream and scrape the tidbits from the chicken left at the bottom of the pan while stirring.
- Bring mixture to a boil, add the pasta, and mix to combine. Reduce heat to low, cover the pan with the lid, and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes until the pasta is tender.
- Open the lid, stir in the pesto until incorporated and heated through. Turn off the heat, add the parmesan cheese, stir to combine, and serve.
