Lemon Pesto Chicken

My sister told me about this recipe and I finally got around to making it tonight. It is simple and tasty.

For starters, buy the Knorr Creamy Pesto Sauce Mix envelope. The recipe is on the back. I added a can of mushrooms and a cup of broccoli to it for a little more substance, but other than that I just followed the recipe as is. The kids liked it and so did the adults.

2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 lb chicken breast, thinly sliced (I seasoned w/ salt, pepper & garlic powder)
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 1/2 cup milk
1 package Knorr Creamy Pesto Sauce Mix
1/2 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
8 oz. pasta, cooked (I used a whole wheat corkscrew pasta)

Heat oil in large skillet over med-high heat and brown chicken, stirring occasionally. Stir in lemon juice and cook 1 minute. (This is when I added the mushrooms and broccoli). Stir in milk and sauce packet and bring to a boil. Stir in cheese. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally until chicken is thoroughly cooked, about 3 minutes. Toss sauce with hot pasta.
