Pesto chicken

This is a staple in our house and so easy!

2 chicken breasts
2 heaping tbsp Classico pesto sauce
about 2 tbsp diced sun-dried tomatoes (the ones soaked in oil are the yummiest)
Parmesan cheese to top
cooked veggies to throw in if desired (peas, green beans, carrots, squash, broccoli, etc.)
pasta (your favorite, enough for 2+)

Cook chicken. I either fry it in oil with some garlic powder, salt, pepper, italian seasoning and add balsamic vinegar at the end OR cook in the crockpot with everything above except the vingear for a few hours and it's perfect and much easier. Especially if you have split-rib chicken breasts. Just be sure to watch the chicken so it doesn't dry out from cooking too long. Then dice the cooked chicken.

Cook pasta and drain. Add everything else and mix. You can add more pesto, cheese, tomatoes, chicken if desired. My husband loves a lot so he always adds more everything. Can be served hot or cold.
