Pesto Pasta with Grilled Chicken

Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 16 oz farfalle pasta
• 1 cup basil pesto (homemade or storebought)
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/4 cup fresh basil, cut into thin strips (i.e. chiffonade)
• Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
2. Grill the chicken over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes per side, or until completely cooked. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and slice into strips.
3. Meanwhile, boil the pasta until al dente according to the package instructions. (Note: I usually cook the pasta for 1-2 minutes less than the package suggests so that the pasta still has some texture.)
