Briana's Penne with Chicken and Pesto



One of my favorite dishes, a recipe that no one (not even me) could mess up; penne with chicken and pesto! This recipe is extremely beginner friendly, quick to make, and especially perfect for last minute dinner ideas. For those who are constantly hungry, you’re in luck- this dish only takes half an hour to make. - Bri
