Grilled 30 Minute
Creamy Chicken Fettuccine

A jar of premade pesto and quick cooking thin pasta
bring this dish to the table in just over 30 minutes.

Ingredients:
1 cup whipping cream
1/3 cup butter or margarine
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
12 ounces dried fettuccine
1/4 cup purchased pesto
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Dash black pepper

Directions:
In a small saucepan heat whipping cream and butter until butter melts. Gradually add Parmesan cheese, stirring until combined.
Cover and keep warm over low heat.
Grill chicken on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium heat for 12 to 15 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink (170 degrees F), turning once halfway through grilling. Meanwhile, cook fettuccine according to package directions. Drain and keep warm.
Cut grilled chicken into bite-size pieces.
In a medium bowl toss chicken with 1 tablespoon of the pesto.
Add remaining pesto and Parmesan mixture to the hot cooked fettuccine.
Add tomatoes. Toss to coat.
Arrange fettuccine on a serving platter; sprinkle with pepper.
Top with grilled chicken.
