1 large onion, chopped

Directions

Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 10 minutes or until well browned on both sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion and cook for 3 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in the broth and pesto sauce. Add the spinach. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until the spinach is wilted.
Stir in the fettuccine. Return the chicken to the skillet. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Sprinkle with the cheese, if desired.

"LOVE IT! I added mushrooms, roma tomatoes and garlic salt to taste. I also added two cloves of fresh pressed garlic to the onion as it cooked. I doubled the chicken broth, spinach and fettuccine so..." See more I had extra left over, and added Wonder Flour to thicken up the sauce a bit and it turned out wonderful! There was no need to double the pesto."

Next time I will back i..." See moret off a little. Besides that, It was great! Definitely something we will have again!"

"This is a very easy recipe but quite tasty. I added the pesto slowly to my taste as well. I didn't want it to overpower the dish. I think adding fresh tomatoes would have been a good addition...." See more"
