How to Make Chicken With Parsley And Pistachio Pesto Over Pasta

  1. Cook 1 pound pasta according to package directions.
  2. While pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes per side).
  3. Meanwhile, combine 1/2 cup packed fresh parsley, 1/4 cup chicken broth, 2 cloves garlic, and 1/2 cup shelled pistachios in a blender or food processor.
  4. Blend until smooth, adding more broth, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
  5. Add the pesto to the skillet with the cooked chicken and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute, allowing flavors to meld.
  6. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Drain the cooked pasta and add it to the skillet with the chicken and pesto.
  8. Toss to coat evenly.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
