Steps:
- Add the pasta to boiling water and cook according to the instructions on the package. Most types of pasta will cook through in 3-10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, grate the garlic, and finely dice the chicken. Heat some cooking spray or vegetable oil in a frying pan, then add the chicken. Cook until the chicken has barely cooked through, then add the garlic and saute for another minute. Set the chicken aside.
- When the pasta has finished boiling, drain off the excess water. Add the pesto, chicken and garlic, and stir to combine. Serve the chicken and pesto pasta immediately while it's still hot.

PESTO PASTA WITH CHICKEN
Easy and delicious pasta with chicken. Serve with crusty bread and salad for a quick dinner. Use as much or as little pesto sauce as you like. Using homemade pesto will taste even better, but it adds to prep time. Enjoy!
