Garlic Pesto Chicken and Pasta

Garlic Pesto Chicken with Tomato Cream Penne



1/2 bottle of lawrys Herb and Garlic Marinade
2 large spoonfuls of Pesto 
2 boneless chicken breasts.

Cut chicken into one inch strips. Using same knife make slits into chicken. Pour lawrys marinade and pesto over chicken. Marinate over night 

*Note: I marinated mine for just a few hours and it was still really good.

Sauce:
8 ounces of your choice of pasta (I used whole wheat penne) 
2 tablespoons of olive oil
3 cloves of garlic
2 spoonfuls of pesto
1/2 cup of chicken broth
8 ounces of tomato sauce 
1 cup of half and half

Boil water and start on noodles.

Pour entire batch of chicken, marinade and all, into skillet and cook chicken fully (the marinade will evaporate/cook down)

Heat olive oil, cook garlic. Add pesto. Simmer in chicken broth until half has cooked down. Add tomato sauce. Then add milk. Simmer for 5 minutes. Toss pasta in. Add flour if it needs to be thickened while the sauce is simmering. Place chicken on top.
