Ingredients
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (6 to 8 ounces each) Coarse salt and ground pepper 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/2 pound fettuccine 4 cubes (1/2 cup) frozen Basil Pesto 1/4 cup heavy cream
Directions
Place chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap. With a meat mallet or heavy skillet, pound chicken to an even 3/4-inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet; cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Slice each piece across the grain into 4 or 5 strips; cover to keep warm.
Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package instructions. Reserve 1/4 cup cooking water. Drain pasta and return to pot.
In a small saucepan, heat pesto over low until liquefied. Stir in cream; heat until warm. Toss pasta with reserved cooking water and half the sauce. Divide among shallow bowls; top with chicken. Drizzle with remaining sauce.

Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 07/20/2019 Simple and good. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 1 stars 09/14/2018 horrible. Done with martha's crap. Year ago, when she spent time on each recipe her stuff was good. Now, it's all about sell, sell,..... no quality whatsoever Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 06/14/2017 Wow! Loved the dish. Made a few changes. Added generous fresh chopped garlic, salt, along with other Italian herbs. Added mushrooms to the pesto. Doubled the sauce. In the end added cherry tomatoes and cooked for a minute. Topped with fresh basil leaves. I'm in love with this recipe. Making it again. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 02/20/2017 My Italian inspired Valentine's Day dinner turned out superb. I loved how easy, fast and delicious it was to prepare. I am no cook but I felt like a true Italian chef. I purchased heart shape pasta from Italy and then I used a dry pesto, Purdue Chicken packets already pre seasoned with and italian seasonings and it turned out very flavorful. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 3 stars 12/30/2013 My husband thought the sauce needed a little more flavor, but I did enjoy it. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 06/10/2013 This is great! My pesto was in a jar from Stonewall Kitchen - I didn't have cream so used milk with a tiny bit of added butter (1/2 tablespoon) and added about a scant tablespoon of flour to thicken more. Salt, pepper and perfect! So simple and about 20 minutes to finish. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 04/16/2013 Very very good. I sautéed fresh garlic along with the chicken, added basting oil and butter and caramelized the chicken. I also doubled the cream sauce as it was a little too dry. This recipe is full of flavor and displays beautifully in front of friends and family. You'll look like a superstar chef with this one. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 09/29/2012 i didn't make it yet, but I can tell you what it laks : parmesan ! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 09/17/2012 After reading the other reviews I added extra salt and pepper, some garlic, 1/2 chopped red chili and a 1/4 cup of chicken stock instead of the reserved pasta water. AMAZING! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 4 stars 06/18/2012 OK have to say - A M A Z I N G - with one exception. Yes, rather bland. But it's the pesto cream sauce. I seasoned the chicken GENEROUSLY. We had to add a bit of salt - and we NEVER add salt to anything - to the pasta/chicken mix once it was served. Once you can get past that little problem this is THE most tasteful dish. SO good! Just remember to season a bit more than usual ... Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 06/19/2011 This recipe has a short ingredient list but turns out a restaurant-worthy dish. Don't use jarred pesto like I did. Homemade pesto can lend a fresh brightness that jarred could never do. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 02/26/2011 Although it was pretty easy to make, my boyfriend and I thought it was a bit bland. We have to admit, we did use store bought pesto (but a good brand) and we used "fresh fettuccine". But besides that we followed the recipe and it was just a bit plain. We agreed that maybe the chicken should be cooked with garlic or some flavor. I usually don't add salt to much, but we both though this needed it among other things. There was just something missing. But I love pesto so would try again Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 09/08/2010 you could also add pignolia nuts and fresh mushrooms instead of the chicken and its great Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 11/01/2008 This recipe is great ! the only ingredient I added was some chopped up sun dried tomatoes and romano cheese to finish it. thanks for the recipe.
