20-Minute Pesto Pasta with Crispy Chicken - Gluten Free & Grain Free
By McKenna Ruzga
This 20 minute Gluten & Grain-Free Pesto Pasta is the perfect weeknight meal when you’re short on time but not willing to compromise on taste. It’s made with our new Gluten + Grain-Free Cauliflower Penne that has hidden veggies, right in the pasta! Top it off with a crispy chicken cutlet for a filling and well-rounded dinner.
INGREDIENTS
1 boneless chicken breast, butterflied into 2 cutlets
Butterfly the chicken breast to create 2 thin cutlets. If needed, pound with a meat mallet to create an even thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
Dip each chicken cutlet into the beaten eggs, then coat both sides with breadcrumbs. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 7 minutes per side, or until browned. Reduce heat to low, cover, and continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through.
Prepare Cauliflower Penne according to package instructions. Drain and return to the pot.
Add pesto sauce and stir until the Penne is evenly coated.
Plate the pasta while warm. Top with Parmesan cheese and a breaded chicken cutlet. Serve and enjoy!
