Instructions
  1. Add the pasta in the salted boiling water. Once cooked, drain the pasta and set aside. You can also cook the pasta as per the instructions on the packet.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with pepper and half a teaspoon of salt. In a large skillet, heat some olive oil and pan-fry the chicken for about 3 minutes each on both sides or until cooked. Once cooked, rest for about 5 minutes and cut into bite-sized strips.
  3. In the same skillet, add more oil if needed and sauté asparagus for about 2-3 minutes until tender and crisp. Add the whipping cream and simmer for about 3 minutes while stirring occasionally. Then add pesto, chopped chicken breasts and let it cook for another 2 minutes. Add salt, cooked pasta and stir well.
  4. Serve immediately with warm, crusty bread slices.
Recipe Notes

Recipe Tip

You can use broccoli, peas, green beans or even cherry tomatoes along with or without asparagus. To add up some spice in your pasta, you can directly stir in a dollop or two of our Chunky Continental Chicken Spread while skipping the whole process of cooking the chicken breasts and cutting them.
