Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups fresh basil leaves (packed)
1/3 cup parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup walnuts (chopped)
3 garlic cloves (medium sized, minced)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon white pepper
2 lbs chicken breasts (Diced, Boneless, Skinless)
3 garlic cloves (smashed)
1 lb egg noodles

Steps:

  • Combine the basil in with the walnuts, pulse a few times in a food processor. Add the garlic, salt and pepper then pulse a few times more.
  • Slowly add the olive oil in a constant stream while the food processor is on. Stop to scrape down the sides of the food processor with a rubber spatula. Add the grated cheese and pulse again until blended.
  • If the chicken is frozen, then cook the chicken in about a half cup of water till it is thawed enough to dice into cubes. Smash the garlic and add to the water and finish cooking the chicken.
  • Boil a pot of water and add the egg noodles and cook to desired softness, I like mine a little al dente so it only took about 6 minutes. Drain the water from the noodles and chicken and mix it all together with the pesto.
