Pasta, chicken, pesto and cheese. Oh my!

Ingredients

  • 1 box (16 Oz. Box) Dry Campanelle Pasta
  • 5 Tablespoons Olive Oil, Divided
  • 4 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts, Cut Into 1-inch Pieces
  • 1 whole Medium Size Onion, Diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Smashed And Minced
  • ¾ cups White Wine
  • ¼ cups Chicken Stock
  • 1 jar (8 Oz. Jar) Prepared Pesto (or Your Own Recipe)
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Black Pepper
  • 1 container (8 Oz. Container) Ricotta Cheese
  • 1 bag (8 Oz. Bag) Grated Mozzarella Cheese

Preparation

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta, and cook until just al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain, and rinse under cold water. Toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Set aside.

Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken pieces and brown; add onions and garlic, cook until they are clear. Deglaze pan with the white wine and chicken stock. Simmer chicken pieces, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes.

Add pasta and pesto to the skillet. Stir in cream, and cook until the sauce is thickened. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. In a casserole dish, layer one quarter of each; pasta mixture, ricotta cheese, mozzarella and parmesan cheeses. Repeat and sprinkle the top with parmesan and mozzarella.

Bake about 30 minutes until bubbly.

This was delicious. I didn’t have campanelle pasta so I just used penne. It made A LOT & I even cut down the amount of pasta & chicken & it still made a 9×13 dish.
