Chicken Pesto Pasta

I know it seems odd but trust me the bread crumbs in this recipe are essential! Be careful with the red pepper flakes a little goes a long way!

you will need:

1 box of farfalle pasta you can use whatever pasta you like this is what I use
1 lb of chicken breast - i like the tenderloin chicken breasts

either one jar of pesto or you can make your own with basil, olive oil, garlic, and pine nuts - you need about a cup

cheddar cheese shredded
1/4 cup of bread crumbs
about 2 cups of frozen corn

about a tbs of red pepper flakes ( more if u like it spicy)

Directions:

Cook the pasta as directed. I like to grill the chicken or you can cook it in a pan. Cook the corn as directed on the pakage. Now the easy part - mix it all together is a large pot (I suggest adding the breadcrumbs before the cheese) - I use the one I cook the pasta in! if it seems dry add either more pesto or a little mayo!
it makes a lot of pasta so you will have left overs

I know the amounts are not all exact - I make this all the time and quit measuring the amounts, the cheese is the one thing you can use your best judgement on! I would start with about a 1/2 cup and go from there! I hope you enjoy it, this is one of my favorites!
