Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil in a small bowl until evenly moistened; set aside.
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the penne, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
- Meanwhile, combine the chicken in a bowl with the Italian cheese blend, spinach, tomatoes, alfredo sauce, pesto sauce, and milk. Stir in the pasta once done, and scoop into the prepared baking dish. Top with the bread crumb mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and golden brown on top, 40 to 45 minutes.

CHICKEN PESTO PENNE
We had a wonderful pasta dish at a local restaurant and I have spent time recreating and (blush blush) I think improving on it. This is not low fat, but it is nice for a once in a while treat. If you want to indulge even more, perhaps for company, (and make it taste even better) use full fat cream instead of the half and half! I use bought, jarred pesto but homemade would be even better. I hope you enjoy it!

- I love a good chicken pasta recipe. Both ingredients are easy to cook, and are great blank canvases that work with all kinds of other flavors. Here I show you a recipe for Chicken Penne Pesto, which has become a staple in my house. Pesto sauce is one of my favorite pasta sauces, for it’s great basil/garlic flavor, it’s texture, and of course the vibrant green color. I show you how to make a fresh basil pesto in the video, but you can also use a good store-bought version, or even better, when you do make pesto, freeze some, and just pull it out of the freezer an hour before you want to use it. You can also save some time if you have some leftover chicken from a previous meal, but even it not, you can saute a chicken breast in 5 or 6 minutes. Hope you enjoy this Chicken Penne Pesto recipe as much as I do! Recipe Overview & Keys to Success To make the best Chicken Penne Pesto, just follow these few cooking techniques:
- I like making this recipe with penne, but you can use other pasta shapes. No matter what pasta you use, don’t overcook it. Start tasting the penne about a minute or two before the package's suggested cooking time, and pull it out as soon as it’s al dente As I mention above, you can certainly buy pesto, but the homemade version I show you here is going to be much better and fresh tasting Don’t cook the pesto sauce. To maintain the bright color and flavors in the pesto, you really shouldn’t cook it. Rather, simply combine it with the hot pasta, and toss off the direct heat Drizzle some additional olive oil over everything prior to serving. The oil adds some lubrication that prevents the penne from clumping, and it adds additional flavors. Also, make sure to season with salt and pepper, taste and re-season if needed before serving.
- 1 chicken breast, cooked and diced 1/3 lbs of penne pasta 1 bunch (3 – 4 cups) fresh basil 2 garlic cloves 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese 2 tablespoons pinenuts 1 lemon Extra virgin olive oil
