Spaghetti with Chicken, Cherry Tomatoes and Pesto

This recipe is tweaked from one very similar on Taste.com.au
They used smoked chicken. I've never bought smoked chicken.
So I changed it to barbecued chicken.
Which I buy a lot!

from Taste.com.au

(serves 4)

Get This -
  • 350g dried spaghetti pasta
  • 135g (1/2 cup) bought basil pesto
  • 300g barbecued chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • 1 x 250g punnet cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 30g (1/2 cup) finely grated parmesan

Do This -
  1. Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of salted boiling water following packet directions or until al dente. Drain and return to the pan.
  2. Add the pesto, chicken and tomato to the pasta and gently toss until well combined. Place the pan over low heat and cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes or until heated through. Add the parmesan to the pasta and toss to combine.
  3. Divide the pasta mixture among serving bowls and serve.

  1. I'm having almost this exact thing for dinner tonight! Only I've got chicken breast instead.

    I buy smoked chicken for salads a fair bit, and for some pasta dishes. It's different, of course, but I've really come to like it though.
