Creamy Chicken Pesto Pasta
This meal came together by chance the other night when I opened the fridge in search of inspiration for dinner. While the fridge was quite bare, I did find left over chicken, a half of a jar of pesto, and my a little saving grace: Philadelphia Original Cooking Cream. The end result of these various ingredients is what you see here, my Creamy Chicken Pesto Pasta. Taking mere minutes to prepare, this meal is not only bursting with the fresh flavors of pesto, but also pleasantly smooth and creamy from the addition of Philly's Cooking Cream. Enjoy!
