Fettuccini with Pesto Chicken and Asiago Cheese
One of my favorite homemade pasta dishes is Fettuccini with Pesto Chicken and Asiago Cheese. It is a hearty mouthwatering dish that pleases everyone in my household.
Ingredients
- 1 to 2 pounds of fresh fettuccini pasta(can be boxed fettuccini, but fresh taste does taste best)
- ½ cup of fresh pesto
- 2 chicken cutlets
- Chicken seasoning of your choice ( I prefer the McCormick Perfect Pinch Chicken Seasoning)
- ½ cup of freshly shredded asiago cheese
- 2 tablespoons of grated parmesan reggiano cheese
- 1 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- Teaspoon of salt
Materials
- Pasta pan filled with water
- Frying pan
- Strainer
- Tongs
Directions
- Rinse chicken cutlets under water and season them generously with the chicken seasoning. The sauté those in the frying pan with a tablespoon of olive oil for about 5 minutes on each side until they are juicy and tender.
- Boil about 8 cups of water in a pan with 1 teaspoon of salt and then add in fresh fettuccini pasta and cook the pasta for about 7 minutes or until tender. Then strain the pasta, place the pasta back inside the pan, pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the pasta and toss the pasta in it. Next, add in a tablespoon of butter and taste that into the pasta as well. The butter helps add more flavor.
- Now place the pan of pasta back on the stove on low heat and add in about ¾ cup of pesto to the pasta and toss the pasta around in the pesto with the tongs for about a 1 minute.
- Scoop pesto-covered fettuccini onto some plate, cut the seasoned chicken cutlets up and toss them onto the fettuccini, sprinkle on some asiago cheese and parmesan reggiano and serve up hot for a mouthwatering pasta dish that should feed about two people easily.
