Creamy Chicken Pesto Pasta

This creamy chicken and pesto pasta is an elegant and hearty dish. Bow-tie pasta and chunks of chicken are folded into a creamy pesto sauce. Diced zesty sun-dried tomatoes add pops of color. Flavorful and filling, this dish makes a great family night dinner. But it’s fancy enough for an elegant dinner party meal.
