This quick fix dinner recipe is one of my very favorites. So simple with so much flavor. Wait until you enjoy this crispy chicken. So good. Enjoy!
You’ll start by cooking the pasta and browning/crisping the chicken thighs.
Once the chicken is cooked add the cooked pasta to the large skillet.
Stir in a small jar of prepared pesto….and seriously that’s about it!
Top with fresh parmesan cheese and dinner is done!
