Aside from the basil pesto, I also added some chopped sun dried tomato. This gives more life to the dish because it adds a nice flavor that goes well with the other ingredients. You can purchase ready-made pesto from the supermarket, or make one from scratch. Our pesto recipe can be found on the link below. Of course, it is better to make pesto from ground-up because it is fresh – and you can proudly tell everyone that you made it.

The chicken is easily prepared by rubbing salt and pepper. This is grilled for a few minutes and then slice according to your preference. This is placed on top of the pasta after assembling all the ingredients. Don’t forget to serve your pasta with some homemade garlic bread.
