PENNE WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATO PESTO AND CHICKEN
I saw this recipe being made on "Everyday Italian" on the food network. The original recipe did not call for chicken, but I think it needed a little meat to make it extra yummy. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bite (al dente), stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile chop cooked chicken.
- Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
- Blend the sun-dried tomatoes and their oil, garlic, salt and pepper, to taste, and basil in a food processor and blend until the tomatoes are very finely chopped.
- Transfer the tomato mixture to a large bowl and stir in the Parmesan and the chicken.
- Add the pasta to the pesto and toss to coat, adding enough reserved cooking liquid to moisten.
- Season the pasta to taste, with salt and pepper and serve.

[email protected]I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out really bland. The pesto was flavorless and the chicken was dry. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

[email protected]This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some grilled chicken that I needed to use up and this dish was the perfect solution. The pesto and sun-dried tomatoes added a lot of flavor to the chicken and made it a really tasty meal.

[email protected]This recipe was a disaster. The pesto was too oily and the chicken was overcooked. I ended up throwing the whole thing away.
