Happy Easter! This time of year is wondrous to me for two reasons. One - everything gets so beautiful. The flowers are simply gorgeous, the trees bloom into these majestic and magnificently colored beings, and its warmer than the dismal winter. Never mind that I have the worst allergies in the world. It's still worth it.
And two - Cadbury creme eggs. OMG I am an absolute addicted fiend about these wondrous delights. My addiction dates back to my middle school days. Someone told me about them and on the next grocery trip I picked them up and it was love at first bite. I would gladly accept these amazing creations as bribes as an fyi. Just putting it out there.
I have to admit - this meal started off as something completely different in my mind, but as I started incorporating the ingredients, it just seemed right to take it in this direction.
Ingredients
1 lb chicken breasts (2 large pieces)
2 tbsps green pepper
2 mushrooms
1 small onion
1-2 cloves garlic
2-3 pieces sun dried tomatoes
1 1/2 tbsps pesto sauce
1 cup light cream
1 tsp salt
2 tsps black pepper
1 cup pasta
Place water on heat, and when boiling add pasta - I used campanelle. It's a pretty flower shaped pasta so it works well with sauces.
Slice the chicken into strips and fry in pan until no longer pink
Slice mushrooms, chop green pepper and onion
Chop garlic and sun dried tomatoes
Add to pan
If you have enough basil, pine nuts, olive and garlic on hand, you can make your own pesto.

| I didn't have enough basil so I used this.It was actually quite delicious. |
The pasta should be drained and ready at this point. Add to chicken mixture.
And you may not believe this, but my name is not Ripley, so believe it - that's it! Dinner is ready!

| Enjoy! |
