Directions Colorful Chicken Pesto with Asparagus, Sun Dried Tomatoes and Peppers
Directions
-
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a boil. Stir in the angel hair pasta and return to a boil. Cook the pasta, stirring occasionally, until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, cook and stir chicken strips until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
Pour reserved oil from sun-dried tomatoes into the skillet, cook and stir asparagus in the oil until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add yellow and red bell pepper strips, cook and stir an additional 2 minutes.
Lightly toss the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cooked pasta into the skillet with chicken and vegetables, stir in pesto sauce and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes and 2 teaspoons of Parmesan cheese to serve.
