Bursting with flavors of basil, garlic, and Parmesan with a subtle taste of cream cheese. It\u2019s super tasty and easy to make! This recipe is going to become one of your favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/category\/type\/30minutesorless\/\">30 minutes meals<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a simple recipe that produces an outstanding pasta dish but doesn\u2019t require any special techniques. The creamy pesto sauce is virtually impossible to mess up. There is no need to make a bechamel, which means no flour and no lumps. Instead, it\u2019s made using a base of cream cheese, basil pesto, milk, and chicken stock that blends together perfectly creating a savory and delicious velvety smooth sauce that beautifully coats the pasta.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creamy Chicken Pesto pasta is the perfect quick dinner for any weeknight or main course for a bigger family meal. The pasta is a complete meal as is or you can add a salad to start like my <a href=\"https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/caprese-salad\/\">Caprese Salad<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/mushroom-arugula-warm-salad\/\">Mushroom Arugula Warm Salad<\/a>.

Ideally, Italian and of decent quality.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chicken Breasts \u2013<\/strong> I used boneless skinless chicken breasts, but you can use boneless skinless chicken thighs if you prefer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Garlic \u2013<\/strong> Freshly minced garlic cloves is the most flavorful choice. You can also use jarred garlic, yet it sometimes has an odd taste unless it was just recently opened.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cream Cheese \u2013<\/strong> You need room-temperature cream cheese for the sauce. I\u2019m a huge fan and always use Philadelphia brand cream cheese in all my cooking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Basil Pesto \u2013<\/strong> You need about a cup of your favorite store-bought basil pesto.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Milk \u2013<\/strong> When making this pesto and chicken pasta I use 2% milk, but you can use half and half too. If you&#8217;re looking for a richer taste, though I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s needed, you can sub with heavy cream.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chicken Broth \u2013<\/strong> I use low-sodium chicken broth to control the level of salt.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pasta <\/strong>\u2013 I like to use bowtie or penne, but any shape of bite-size pasta will work such as orecchiette or rigatoni.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Parmesan Cheese \u2013<\/strong> Freshly grated Parmesan adds a lovely salty cheese component to the dish. And better quality Parmesan like Reggiano will elevate the taste even more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salt <\/strong>\u2013 No pasta dish would be complete without a touch of salt for seasoning and to bring out all the yummy layered flavors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Black Pepper \u2013<\/strong> Fresh ground black pepper is ideal.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Spinach \u2013<\/strong> Fresh baby spinach adds flavor to the dish and a green vegetable. Frozen spinach is an option as well if you don\u2019t have any fresh on hand.&nbsp;Other veggies you can use are cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, fresh basil, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure

Other good choices are rigatoni and orecchiette. Longer noodles like spaghetti or linguine won\u2019t cook as evenly, so I don\u2019t suggest using them for this recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-i-use-other-types-of-cheese\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_Use_Other_Types_Of_Cheese\"><\/span>Can I Use Other Types Of Cheese?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes! If you don\u2019t have Parmesan cheese on hand or want to mix it up, any hard Italian cheese like Romano, Pecorino, and Grana Padano are all great choices! You could even use a combination of them for an even more layered cheese flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-i-make-this-pesto-pasta-gluten-free\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_Make_This_Pesto_Pasta_Gluten-Free\"><\/span>Can I Make This Pesto Pasta Gluten-Free?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes! Just use your favorite gluten-free pasta of choice. But do keep in mind that the pasta should be a shape that is bite-sized for even cooking. You may also have to adjust the cooking time a bit once the pasta is added as gluten-free pasta cooking times are sometimes different from traditional pasta types with gluten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-i-make-this-pasta-vegetarian\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_Make_This_Pasta_Vegetarian\"><\/span>Can I Make This Pasta Vegetarian?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes! Simply leave out the chicken! Or, you can replace the chicken with your preferred meat-free option. However, I do not suggest using tofu as it will just crumble into pieces. But a veggie sausage or alternative meat would be super yummy and work perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-i-use-chicken-thighs-or-shrimp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_Use_Chicken_Thighs_Or_Shrimp\"><\/span>Can I Use Chicken Thighs Or Shrimp?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, of course! You can easily replace the boneless skinless breasts with boneless skinless thighs. Shrimp also tastes amazing with this creamy pesto pasta, but you may want to cook the shrimp in a separate pan and not with the pasta, so you don\u2019t overcook them. Basically, make the recipe with no meat at all and then add the shrimp at the end. My <a href=\"https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/garlic-butter-shrimp\/\">Garlic Butter Shrimp<\/a> would be amazing served with this dish!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/creamy-pesto-chicken-pasta-1-9.jpg\" alt=\"freshly made creamy pesto chicken pasta in a dutch oven with a wooden spoon inside.\" class=\"wp-image-8121\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/creamy-pesto-chicken-pasta-1-9.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/creamy-pesto-chicken-pasta-1-9-112x140.jpg 112w, https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/creamy-pesto-chicken-pasta-1-9-750x938.jpg 750w, https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/creamy-pesto-chicken-pasta-1-9-654x818.jpg 654w, https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/creamy-pesto-chicken-pasta-1-9-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/creamy-pesto-chicken-pasta-1-9-48x60.jpg 48w, https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/creamy-pesto-chicken-pasta-1-9-340x425.jpg 340w, https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/creamy-pesto-chicken-pasta-1-9-650x813.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/creamy-pesto-chicken-pasta-1-9-300x375.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/creamy-pesto-chicken-pasta-1-9-150x188.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"featured-content block-tip-box style-default\" id=\"block_d12a7481925ce42788f9a1e85ac135ba\">\n\n\t<div class=\"wrap\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content\">\n\n\t\n\t<h2 class=\"section-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Expert_Tips\"><\/span>\n\n\n\t\n\t\tExpert Tips\n\t\n\n\t<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"section-description\"><ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Sear the chicken well. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You want to turn the chicken pieces occasionally as you sear them so that they brown evenly on all sides.
