Tasty Tuesday Pesto Cream Chicken!

I made this on Saturday and didn't take a picture of it, but it was pretty tasty! I modified a recipe on Allrecipes.com to suit what I had on hand.

Pesto Cream Chicken

Serves 2-3

Ingredients

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, butterflied and pounded thin
1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
1/2 cup buttermilk (or regular milk)
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup grated or shredded Parmesan cheese 
1 cup cream (may substitute Half & Half)
1 tbsp pesto
4oz jar of pimentoes
1/8 tsp pepper
Pasta of choice (enough for 2-3 servings)

Directions
Cook pasta in salted water according to package directions.
Season the chicken with a mixture of salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Place bread crumbs in two separate shallow bowls. Dip chicken in buttermilk, and then in the bread crumbs. Fry chicken in olive oil and butter over medium heat until done. Remove from pan and keep warm.
Add chicken broth to skillet and then the pimentos. Bring to a boil and add the pesto, pepper, Parmesan cheese, and cream. Reduce heat and cook until slightly thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper if needed. Top the chicken with about half of the sauce and then add the cooked pasta to the remaining sauce, toss until coated and enjoy with the hunk of your choice!

I like the Tasty Pesto Cream Chicken recipe, and the Tasty hunk with the inny-outy belly button and the nice head on his third leg that's about to cream all over that nice chest. *laughing* A nice start to this dreary day!! YEP!! I think he's the new young small town police officer in your new contemporay series. I'm glad I was first on his list of suspects. Have a Tasty Day ALL. LOL

He'd make a good one, wouldn't he, Donna? Women would volunteer to be suspects, just so he would frisk them!

Donna...I turned the tables on him and got the cuffs on him. Then we did interrogation on the couch after I sprung him free:)

I'm still laughing at Alicia saving the world with one blow job at a time. Sad but I think she's got the right of it.

Cheryl has made me hungry.

Cheryl Brooks said...

Lick, look, whatever suits you, Lynel!

LOL! Alicia would make one helluva heroine, wouldn't she?

Hungry for what, specifically, Nancy?

Nancy Bristow said...

Both!! *grin*

Cheryl Brooks said...

Thought so!

Ha! Well, the aliens, disguised as an Australian Male Revue, come to my bikini wax spot one by one. Inevitably, I blow them one by one, but never technically "consummate". As the boys have their way at night with the town's ladies, robbing them of their reproductive powers, I actually develop an immunity from their devious poison due to large amounts of their sperm being deposited into my stomach. My saliva becomes an antidote that can restore the ladies' lost fertility. But only if administered orally to their lover's meaty wands before they make the "plunge"...

Yep. Saving the world one BJ at a time...
