Basil Pesto Chicken Spaghetti… Head turning recipe? I think so!

One of the easiest recipes on this whole entire site is this Basil Pesto Chicken Spaghetti, while also being one of the most flavourful meals you will ever try. This Basil Pesto Chicken Spaghetti is so easy to make and ready and on the table in under 20 minutes. Especially if you happen to have a jar of this Homemade Basil Pesto lying around. If not, you can always use a store bought pesto!

Fresh, homemade basil pesto is way better than any store bought pesto, with a flavour-packed punch! All you need is 5 ingredients and a food processor! | https://cafedelites.com

The only effort in this recipe is boiling the spaghetti according to packet instructions; grilling your chicken and cherry tomatoes in pesto for even MORE pesto flavour following this recipe; then mixing it all together.

I’ve included the cherry tomatoes in this pasta recipe BECAUSE they add a beautiful flavour into the pasta. Feel free to leave them out if you wish.

Also, the pasta is equally delicious without chicken if you’re in a real big rush, and perfect for a meatless Monday the of deal.
