Olive Oil Flavored Cooking Spray
Directions
Heat a medium skillet over med-high heat.
Spray with cooking spray and add the tomatoes, carrots, celery, red peppers, chicken breasts, garlic powder, and basil (crush dried between fingers as you sprinkle to release more flavor).
Cook on med-high to high heat until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are desired texture.
While vegetables are cooking, cook pasta according to package directions.
Drain pasta and measure 4 cups cooked into a bowl.
Top pasta with pesto sauce and toss until evenly coated.
Divide the pasta onto four plates (1 cup pasta per plate) and top each with 1/4 of the chicken & vegetable mixture.
