Tips:

Choose fresh rosemary: Use fresh rosemary for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh rosemary, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary.
Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
Make the pesto ahead of time: You can make the pesto ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This will save you time when you're making the pasta.
Use your favorite pasta: You can use any type of pasta that you like for this recipe. Some popular choices include penne, spaghetti, and fettuccine.
Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This fresh rosemary chicken with pesto pasta is a delicious and easy to make meal. The rosemary gives the chicken a wonderful flavor, and the pesto pasta is creamy and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
