Recipe: Chicken Pesto in creamy white sauce

Everybody knows I'm a sucker for pesto so for Chicco's birthday aside from the Tuna Spaghetti, I made Pesto Pasta in Creamy white sauce. Here's the recipe, maybe you can try it out, its very easy to make since we can already buy proceesed pesto in supermarkets.

Ingredients:

3pcs chicken thigh
Processed Pesto in a bottle
fresh milk
Nestle cream
pepper
salt
Magnolia Gold Butter
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
250g of bow tie pasta

Boil the chicken in water and salt mixture. Once done, separate the chicken from the broth. Set aside broth to cool, and make chicken strips from the meat.

Heat 2 tbsp of Extra Virgin Olive oil in a pan, add a significant amount of butter, just enough to give the buttery yummy taste :) Add milk then 250ml of Nestle cream, whisk mixture until it boils. Add chicken strips and a cup of the chicken broth then boil in low fire. Add 2 tbsps of the pesto mixture and whisk again, after it boils add another 250ml of the Nestle cream. Add another 2 tbsps of pesto a dash of salt and pepper to taste. Boil in low fire until mixture thickens.

Cook pasta as per package instructions. I used bow tie pasta for presentation purposes. They are sooo cute :)
