Garlic Pesto Chicken w/ Tomato Cream Penne

Another good find thanks to Southern Girl Cooking! I love Pesto, but never really make anything with it for some reason so when I saw this...it was perfect!!

**You need to marinate the chicken overnight so make sure you do it a day before you are ready to make it.

Ingredients for Marinade:

1/2 bottle Lawrys Herb and Garlic Marinade

1 large spoonfuls of Pesto

2 boneless Chicken Breasts

Ingredients for Sauce & Pasta:

8 oz. of Penne Pasta

2 Tbsp. Olive Oil

3 cloves of Garlic

2 spoonfuls of Pesto

1/2 cup Chicken Broth

8 oz. Tomato Sauce

1 cup of Half-and-Half

*I added 1 Tbsp. Parsley and 1/2 Tbsp. Oregano

What To Do(NIGHT BEFORE):

1. Cut Chicken into strips and then make slits into the chicken
2. Pour Lawrys marinade and pesto over chicken
3. Marinate overnight

DAY OF:
