A yummy, warm meal-in-a-bowl and the prep doesn’t get any simpler than this!<\/p>\n
about 1\/2 lb of your favorite pasta, cooked according to package directions, drained and rinsed 2 chicken breasts 2 or 3 cups of fresh-steamed broccoli, cut into bite-sized pieces<\/p>\n 1\/4 cup or so (maybe more – just “eyeball” it) basil pesto Fold broccoli, pasta and chicken together in a large bowl (or just prepare it in the pot you boiled the pasta in). Gently fold in the pesto, a tablespoon or two at a time, until all of the pasta is lightly coated in the pesto.<\/p>\n Serve and enjoy. This is great cold for leftovers, too, or for packed lunches to take to school.<\/p>\n Sprinkle with a little freshly grated parmesan cheese, if desired. A sprinkle of toasted pine nuts would be good, too, if your family is game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A yummy, warm meal-in-a-bowl and the prep doesn’t get any simpler than this!

\nChicken Pesto Pasta with Broccoli<\/strong>
\n(that title makes it sound like the pesto is made of pureed chicken – ewwww…..)<\/p>\n
\n(farfalle, penne, rotini or even spaghetti are all great)<\/p>\n
\n(sprinkled with Baby Bam seasoning<\/a>, grilled and sliced into bite-sized pieces)<\/p>\n
\n(I like the version that they sell at Costco, but it’s easy to make your own)<\/p>\n
