Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta

Erin: This recipe is a great twist on pesto. We have a big pesto fan in our house, Sam just can't get enough. I'm not the biggest fan but I found this recipe and it looked too yummy to pass up. And it was a big hit :)

Ingredients:
1. 2 tablespoons olive oil
2. 1 pound or about 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
3. 1.5 cups of milk
4. 1 package creamy pesto sauce mix (I used Knorr brand, right next to the gravy packets)
5. Half a cup of grated parmesan cheese
6. 8oz of pasta (I used fettuccine)

What to do:
1. Heat olive oil in large skillet and add chicken strips to brown them. (Meanwhile, make the pasta)
2. Stir in milk and creamy pesto sauce and bring to a boil
3. Stir in cheese
4. Reduce heat and simmer until chicken is cooked through
5. Toss with hot pasta
