    Crockpot chicken pesto pasta

    Ingredients:

    •2 lbs chicken breast
    •half jar of pesto (I used about 10 ounces of a 22 ounce jar)
    •Parmesan cheese
    •shredded mozzarella
    •stick of butter
    •2 good handfuls of spinach (measure with your heart)
    •1 medium white onion
    •1 package tiny tomatoes
    •pasta of your choice
    •salt
    •pepper
    •garlic powder
    •onion powder

    Put frozen chicken breasts in the crockpot with spinach, chopped white onion, and tiny tomatoes. Cover with a good, thick layer of pesto. Slice butter and place on top of pesto. Sprinkle seasonings over top. Cook on high for 4-6 hours.

    Cook pasta according to package directions. i used a half package of elbow noodles.

    While pasta is cooking shred the chicken. Then add in a few healthy shakes of Parmesan cheese and stir to mix it in.

    Add cooked pasta and stir to combine making sure all noodles are mixed in.

    Cover with a heaping layer of shredded mozzarella and cover for 10 minutes.

    I enjoyed it and it was toddler approved! I’d probably ditch the salt if I made it again though

    A full stick of butter? That seems really excessive to me. Is the pasta added cooked or uncooked?

    We eat with our eyes and I assume this tasted great but saving some fresh pesto to finish with would add a vibrant herbaceous note and elevate the visual appeal. I made something similar about a week ago and blended some pesto with cream to finish the dish and topped with fresh basil.

    That looks like what my dog just threw up in the garden, no offence
