Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta Bake ✨ My most viral recipe of 2024! What a year it’s been. I’m truly so grateful for all the love and support you’ve shown me this year. Cheers to a delicious 2025! Here’s how to make it: 1lb pasta of choice 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes + oil 1lb chicken 1 tbsp butter 1/2 yellow onion, diced Salt and pepper, to taste 1 tsp red pepper flakes (to taste) 1 tsp smoked paprika (to taste) 1 tsp oregano (to taste) 6-8 cloves of garlic, minced (to taste) 2 cups heavy cream (room temp) 1-2 cups cooked broccoli 2 handfuls spinach 6-8 oz freshly shredded parmesan cheese (divided) 8 oz freshly shredded mozzarella (divided) 1/2 cup pesto, to taste (I recommend Costco brand) Parsley to garnish  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Place the cream on the counter to come to room temp. 2. Boil your noodles in salted water a few minutes less than package instructions (al dente). Drain and set aside. 3. In a large oven-safe saucepan or dutch oven, heat 1 tbsp of sun-dried tomato oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken until it's no longer pink, then remove it from the pan and set it aside. Let it rest for a few minutes before cutting into bite-sized pieces. 4. In the same pan, melt the butter and add salt, pepper, red pepper, paprika, and oregano. Stir to toast, then toss in the onion and sauté for about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds. 5. Turn heat to low, pour in the heavy cream and stir. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes to thicken slightly. 6. Add half of the parmesan and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, stir until the cheese is melted. 7. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, cooked broccoli, spinach, chicken, cooked pasta, and pesto. 8. Top with the remaining mozzarella and parmesan cheese. 9. Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes, then broil for another 5 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly. 10. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, a little more parmesan, and enjoy! #pastabake #chickenpesto #pesto #pestopasta #pestochicken #pasta #pastarecipe #EasyRecipe #EasyRecipes #easymeal #easydinner #DinnerIdeas #dinner #FoodTok #cooking - @heresyourbite
