30 minute chicken basil pesto pasta is so easy to make and incredibly delicious Actually, this dish will only take 20 to 30 minutes if you work on the chicken while boiling the pasta. The great thing is, this recipe is a budget meal as well and you can probably serve a family for 4 for twelve to fifteen dollars.
I use bow tie pasta, but you can use any type of pasta. Personally, I feel the bow tie pasta adds a wonderful appearance to the dish. The basil pesto and sun dried tomatoes add a flavour that is simply out of this world.
I mean, you simply can’t go wrong with this wonderful midweek budget meal.

I use basil pesto from the store. Feel free to make your own. It might be a bit better, but it's more time consuming.
