This super lush and Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta is perfect for busy weeknights. Everything cooks in one pot and is done in under 30 minutes! 

One Pot Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta

chicken breast (5.56)

butter

garlic (0.16)

penne pasta (0.40)

chicken broth (0.20)

milk (0.32)

cream cheese* (0.29)

basil pesto (0.73)

Parmesan (0.44)

pepper

red pepper (0.02)

spinach (0.90)

tomatoes (1.10)

Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch pieces. Add the butter to a deep skillet and melt over medium heat. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook over medium heat until the chicken is slightly browned on the outside.

While the chicken is cooking, mince the garlic. Add the garlic to the skillet with the chicken and continue to sauté for one minute more.

Add the uncooked pasta and chicken broth to the skillet with the chicken and garlic. Stir to dissolve any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Place a lid on the skillet, turn the heat up to medium-high, and bring the broth up to a boil.

Once the broth comes to a full boil, give the pasta a quick stir, replace the lid, and turn the heat down to medium-low. Let the pasta simmer over medium-low heat for about 8 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and most of the broth has been absorbed. Stir the pasta briefly every two minutes as it simmers, replacing the lid quickly each time.

Once the pasta is tender and most of the broth absorbed, add the milk, cream cheese (cut into chunks), and pesto. Stir and cook over medium heat until the cream cheese has fully melted into the sauce. Finally, add the grated Parmesan and stir until combined.

If using, add the fresh spinach and sliced sun dried tomatoes. Stir until the spinach has wilted, then remove the pasta from the heat. Top the pasta with freshly cracked pepper and a pinch of crushed red pepper, then serve.

Buddha Bowls

sweet potato,

red onion, diced

Kosher salt

chicken breasts

ginger

garlic,

peanut butter

c. Juice of 1 lime

tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce

honey

sesame oil

brown rice

avocado, thinly sliced

c. baby spinach

tbsp. Freshly chopped cilantro, for garnish

sesame seeds

It's a really great recipe. Whenever I make it, I end up needing to double the peanut sauce and avocado, otherwise it feels a bit skimpy. Something I recently started doing was adding a fried egg on top, which honestly brings it up the next level (in my household at least). All in all, a worthwhile recipe!

I just made this very delicious and filling. I swapped the rice for cauliflower.

Amazing! Roasted the veggies at 450+ for 35 minutes and added red peppers, sesame seed and green onion garnish. Yum!

This is amazing! We didn't have ginger so I subbed paprika, and it was delicious! We always make extra sauce, and chopped bell peppers work as a great sub to sweet potatoes. Thanks for the recipe!

We make this quite a bit. It's become one of our staple meals around here. It's SO GOOD. We honestly save our calories so we can each have two servings. lol. We definitely use less rice than the recipe calls for though, because we split a boil in bag  brown rice bag between us and just load up on the veggies. If I'm in a hurry, I also just use the chicken skewers I get at Costco and put them in the pan with a bit of sesame oil and ginger and stir them until they have the taste of it. lol. You can definitely change this one up a lot and still end up with a delicious meal!

Love this delicious and healthy recipe! 
lit’s my go to recipe! 
East meets west!

So good, be generous with the liquids if you want the sauce to flow.

Really good!  I felt like I was eating healthy(ish).

My family were licking the bowls ! Thank you

Turned out so well, and was very simple to make! The sweet potatoes add a great sweetness! You definitely try this if you have not!

I just made these tonight, and it's just as delicious as it looks.  I made chicken meatballs instead and it turned out great, very satisfying and lots of different flavors and textures.  This recipe is going to become a part of my regular rotation.

green cardamom pods (optional)

Chopped fresh cilantro, mint or basil leaves

Vegan Japchae is a healthy stir fry of Korean glass noodles without eggs, but tons of flavor from shiitake, spinach, scallion &amp; onions.

Vegan Japchae

japchae noodles

carrot, julienned

onion,

julienned

shiitake mushrooms, sliced

spinach

neutral oil

salt and pepper

gluten free soy sauce

tbsp coconut sugar, can use other granulated sugar

tbsp sesame oil

tbsp white sesame seeds

green onion/scallion

JUST egg

Prepare your vegetables by finely julienning and chopping, and prepare your japchae sauce by whisking ingredients together in a small bowl.

Bring water to a boil and cook your japchae noodles until soft and translucent, about 6-7 minutes. They should be almost slippery in texture. Rinse with cool water and drain, cut with scissors and mix in 1 tbsp of your sauce and let sit.

Next, to prepare the traditional way, sauté all of your veggies individually, with oil and a touch of salt and pepper. Add each ingredient to the pan, sauté lightly (you want to maintain the crunch, so don&#8217;t overcook) then add into a large mixing bowl. Sauté your noodles for a few minutes as well and add to the vegetable bowl. Blanch and pat dry your spinach, add to the bowl and mix well to combine. Alternatively, to prepare a bit more quickly, start by sautéing carrots, then add onion, mushrooms and scallions to the pan. Add spinach at the very end and cook very lightly, then toss in your noodles along with remaining sauce and sauté until combined.

Garnish with sliced vegan egg if using, sliced scallion and sesame seeds to top.

This was very tasty! I'm also part Korean and Japanese and this reminded me of home :) thanks Remy!

So so good and easy to make!! This was such a healthy and satisfying meal and I’ll definitely be making it again soon!

Delicious recipe. Flavorful and easy to make. Thank you Remy!!

Check out this recipe for the perfect weeknight dinner—caprese chicken lasagna from Delish.com.

Caprese Chicken Lasagna

lasagna noodles

lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1" pieces

oregano

c. balsamic vinegar

tbsp. all-purpose flour

c. milk

c. shredded mozzarella, divided

c. Parmesan

(16-oz.) container ricotta

roma tomatoes, thinly sliced

basil

Balsamic glaze, for drizzling

Preheat oven to 375º. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook lasagna noodles until very al dente. Drain.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Season chicken with&nbsp;oregano,&nbsp;salt, and pepper. Cook in a single layer, in batches if necessary,&nbsp;until golden and cooked through, 8 minutes. Return all chicken to skillet, then add balsamic vinegar and half the garlic to pan and stir until balsamic&nbsp;is slightly thickened, 1 minute. Transfer to a plate.

Make sauce: Bring skillet back to medium heat and melt in&nbsp;butter. Add remaining garlic and cook until fragrant,&nbsp;1 minute. Add flour and cook until golden, 1 minute more. Gradually add in&nbsp;milk while whisking,&nbsp;then simmer until thick and creamy, 3 minutes. Add&nbsp;Parmesan and 1 cup mozzarella, stirring until melty.&nbsp;Season with salt and pepper.

In a small bowl, stir together ricotta and egg and season with salt and pepper.

In a large baking dish, spread a thin layer of sauce. Add a layer of lasagna noodles, slightly overlapping, and top with about a third of ricotta mixture, a third of tomatoes, a third of the basil, a third of the cooked chicken, another layer of sauce, and a third of mozzarella. Repeat for a total of three layers, ending with mozzarella.

Bake until bubbly and cheese is melty, about 25 minutes. Turn oven to broil and broil until lightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes.

Garnish with&nbsp;basil and&nbsp;drizzle with&nbsp;balsamic glaze before serving.

EXCELLENT!  My family and I love this recipe, however I felt it needed more sauce, so the 2nd time I made it I encreased the butter to 4 Tble, flour 4 Tble and milk 4 cups.  This made for a very moist delish dish!!!

SOOOOO good!  I used canned San Marzano roma tomatoes and they were awesome!  Even my picky eaters ate it up!!

I made this tonight and it was PERFECT. I'm not a huge fan of tomato sauce and this worked great. Thank you so much!!

This was very bland. I'll not make it again.

Great flavor but mine got SUPER runny.  Had to eat it in a bowl because it didn't hold together in a square at all.  I don't feel like I did anything wrong.  Anyone else have that problem?

This Caprese Chicken Lasagna is Such a Game-Changer!

Give boring weeknight dinners a boost with this easy recipe for chicken florentine pasta from Delish.com.

Chicken Florentine Pasta

penne

lb. Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast

c. white wine

garlic cloves,

c. chopped tomato

heavy cream

c. finely grated parmesan (plus more for serving)

parsley

red pepper flakes (optional)

In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook penne according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Season both sides of chicken with salt, pepper and oregano and cook until golden and no longer pink in the middle, 8 minutes per side. Transfer chicken a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.

Make sauce: Add the white wine to deglaze the pan. When the wine is simmering, use a wooden spoon to scrape all the golden chicken bits from the pan. (They have a lot of flavor that you'll want in your sauce!)

Add tomatoes and garlic and cook until the tomatoes soften slightly, about 2 minutes. Add cream and bring mixture back to a simmer. Add mozzarella and Parmesan and stir until the cheese melts. Season sauce with salt and pepper.

Turn off heat and add in the cooked penne, baby spinach, parsley and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss until the pasta is evenly coated in sauce and the spinach has wilted slightly. Serve immediately.

Loved this recipe, switched up tomatoes for mushrooms at the end and used angel hair pasta and I always use extra garlic,  it was fantastic

Was very well thought out I used jalapeño cheese instead of mozzarella

Delicious but used twice the amount of garlic and oregano.

Just made this tonight for my husband and I and it was soooo delicious!! Ingredients were on point would recommend to anyone

Perfectly creamy, just a hint of spice. Might add extra tomato and spinach- I always do extra garlic in everything. Whole family loved it! Served 6 with leftovers

I loved it. Super simple and majorly delish.  Been eating and loving the left overs. I did use chicken thighs and added a little crumbled bacon.

Ricardo

With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.

In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the tenderloins in 1 tbsp (15 ml) of the oil for 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to the baking sheet and roast in the oven for 10 minutes for rare, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the centre of the meat reads 135°F (57°C). Transfer to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut into 1/2-inch (1 cm) slices.

Meanwhile, in the same skillet over high heat, brown the cauliflower and mushrooms in the remaining oil for 15 minutes, stirring often, until they are nicely caramelized. Season with salt and pepper. Add the shallot and continue cooking for 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Add the parsley and chives.

Pork and Vegetables

Divide the arugula among four plates. Top with the vegetables and sliced pork. Drizzle with the dressing.

Dressing

C'était très bien, mais pourrais être mieux. Je trouve que le porc manque d'épices pour donner un peu de punch. Le chou-fleur et bien mais je crois que je vais ajouter un peu de sriracha la prochaine fois.
