One-Pan Garlic Chicken Pesto Pasta

This one-pan chicken and pasta dish is a well-loved recipe for good reason. It's easy to make in a single skillet, comes together in about 30 minutes, and tastes absolutely delicious! Begin by searing strips of chicken breasts with aromatic garlic. Then, stir in heavy cream, tangy Parmesan cheese, and your favorite pesto sauce. Let the sauce simmer until it thickens, then toss in cooked pasta and cherry tomatoes until heated through. The result is a savory, herby dish that everyone always raves about. Garnish with an extra sprinkle of Parmesan and chopped fresh basil for the finishing touch.
