Chicken with Pistachio-Parsley Pesto

Ingredients

  • 1 (1-pound) box fusilli
  • 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium chicken broth, and more if needed
  • 1 pound cubed chicken
  • 1 packed cup fresh parsley leaves

  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled
  • Salt
  • Ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook fusilli according to package directions.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of the broth in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook 5 minutes, until golden brown on all sides.
