An aromatic pesto sauce is the highlight of this pasta and chicken recipe. Just five ingredients and a preparation time of less than 30 minutes makes this a smart week-night dinner idea.
1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add broccoli rabe and cook 3 minutes. Scoop into bowl with a slotted spoon and add pasta to boiling water. Cook 9 minutes.

3. Drain pasta. Stir chicken, pasta and pesto into skillet. Cook 2 minutes to heat through. Serve warm.
