Here is how you make Chicken Pesto Pasta Surprise:

Cut chicken in bite-sized pieces. dice onion. Heat olive oil in pan on med. heat, add chicken after about a minute. Prepare pasta according to package directions. Add onion to the chicken. This is where I tend to add extra stuff since I'm flavor-impared. Minced garlic, onion powder, crushed red pepper, are all viable options. After chicken appears white and fully cooked, add can of tomatoes (crushed, diced, whatever you prefer) and bring to a boil. Add spinach, lower heat, and cover until spinach appears wilted. Remove lid and allow for excess liquid to boil off. When pasta is done, strain and add to chicken/tomato/spinach mixture. Remove from heat and mix pesto in thoroughly. Plate, cheese, and eat!Makes about four servings. I usually make it for two. Enjoy!Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SMASHERETTE.
