Pesto Chicken Parmesan

2 lbs chicken (I used chicken tenders--I counted out 16-18 rather than weighing them)
Pesto
Grated Fresh Parmesan (1 cup)
Pasta

Pesto:
2 cups fresh basil leaves, packed
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup pine nuts
3 medium sized garlic cloves, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Combine ingredients in a food processor and pulse

Directions: Combine Pesto with chicken in pan and top with grated fresh parmesan. Bake 350 for approximately 30 minutes (until chicken is cooked through). While chicken is cooking, boil pasta according to directions. Place the Pesto Chicken Parmesan on top of a bed of pasta and enjoy!

We had this for dinner tonight and my family loved it! My husband said it was his favorite meal yet. Thanks Julianne.
