Pesto Chicken Florentine Dish!!!

Aside from flavor, colors and textures play a big part in these dishes I'm making. I love colorful dishes that are enticing because we all eat with our eyes first, right? In addition, when it comes to textures, I like the dishes that incorporate a combination of creamy, crunchy, soft, hard, thick, thin, etc. But all this lies at the hand of whatever ingredients I have to work with.
This Pesto Chicken Florentine successfully achieves the culinary trifecta of flavor,(“flavors” in seasoning foods Salt, Fat and Sugar) beside that the color and texture of the pasta too. The pesto Alfredo sauce that coats the dish is full of flavor, yet is balanced enough to not overpower the dish. The colors of the red and the green pop up against the golden hue of the pasta. Lastly, the creamy sauce, juicy tomatoes, and al dente pasta are a myriad of textures that work in harmony.


Pesto Chicken Florentine:
1 (8 ounce) package dry campanili or penne pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves – cut into strips
salt & pepper to taste
2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
1 cup grape tomatoes, each cut in half
2 cups Alfredo sauce (homemade or jarred)
2 tablespoons pesto
1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Insructions:
So easy to do it;!
      In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain and transfer pasta back to the pot and set aside. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic, sauté for one minute; then add the chicken, season to taste and cook for 7 to 8 minutes on each side. When chicken is close to being cooked through (no longer pink inside), add spinach and grape tomatoes and sauté all together for 3 to 4 minutes. Add chicken/spinach/tomato mixture to pasta, and then stir in pesto and Alfredo sauce. Mix well, top with cheese and serve. 








Pasta dishes like this is quick to make, making it a perfect meal for weeknights yet elegant enough to serve to guests on weekend dinner parties. It couldn't be easier to put together either. Chicken is seasoned and sautéed with fresh baby spinach and split grape tomatoes before tossing with al dente pasta. To bind it all together and give it a nice punch of flavor, a mixture of Alfredo and pesto sauces is used. You can use either homemade or store bought Alfredo sauce and/or pesto sauce…. although homemade is always better if possible. I’ve found this dish tastes even better the next day as leftovers since flavors had a chance to really develop. So given that, you can certainly make this a day ahead
