How to Make 20 Minute Creamy Pesto Chicken And Bow Ties

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add bow tie pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. While pasta is cooking, melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add cubed chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Reduce heat to low. Stir in cream of mushroom soup, pesto sauce, and milk. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until sauce has thickened slightly, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat with the creamy pesto sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve immediately with a side salad and warm bread, if desired.
