LINGUINE PESTO WITH ITALIAN CHICKEN STRIPS RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Linguine Pesto with Italian Chicken Strips Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by WaffleCrumbs

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 oz. linguine
3 garlic herb chicken breasts, cut into strips or chicken breasts seasoned with italian herbs
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
3/4 c. frozen corn, thawed
1 (3 1/2 oz.) jar prepared pesto
1/4 c. seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 t. crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 t. pepper
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Cook linguine according to package directions, drain. Add chicken, cheese, corn, pesto, bread crumbs, red pepper flakes, salt & pepper. Toss to coat. *When I made this dish, it was VERY dry once all the ingredients were added. Possibly because I used less than the 3.5 oz. pesto? If you find this to be the case with yours, add a bit of chicken broth to moisten. You could also keep some of the water the pasta is boiled in and use that.
