- 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.

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!

PESTO CHICKEN PENNE
This recipe is a nice change of pace from the typical pasta with meat, cheese and tomato sauce routine. It is reminiscent of macaroni and cheese but the pesto definitely offers more depth than the traditional version. All three of my kids (including my 2 year-old) cleaned their plates and that is a feat in itself! Serve with a side salad to get your veggies! (This is my adopted and revised version of Recipe #356847. I changed so many things, including halving the recipe to feed my family of five, that I figured a new recipe post was in order.)
