Chicken and Veggies in Pesto Cream Sauce Recipe

Chicken and Veggies in Pesto Cream Sauce Recipe

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, diced
  • 1 cup broccoli, chopped
  • 1 cup zucchini, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 ounces canned mushroom slices
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons pesto sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
  1. Cut up the chicken and veggies into bite sized pieces.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the water and garlic powder and bring to a boil. Add the broccoli, zucchini and mushrooms. Cover and cook for 3 minutes. Add the chicken and the cream. Cook uncovered about 5 minutes, stir occasionally. The cream will reduce (boil down) and become a thick sauce. Remove from heat.
  3. Stir in the pesto sauce. Serve garnished with the Parmesan cheese.
