three pepper pesto pasta with chicken

This is one of my favorite meals. Maybe it is because it is one of the first meals Kevin made me. He made it for me for on our first Valentine's day in college and I was quite impressed! It has continued to be a go to meal over the last 10 years. It's simple, takes only a handful of ingredients, and tastes great. 

Here it is: 

• 1 box quinoa pasta (or any kind of pasta you prefer)
• 3 chicken breasts (poached and cut into chunks)
• 3 peppers (red, yellow, and orange, diced)
• 1 medium sized red onion, diced (sometimes I use yellow, they both work)
• 1/4- 1/2 cup pesto depending on how much you like
• 2 tbsp olive oil

1. Poach chicken until cooked through, but don't poach too long or it will be kind of tough. Cut it into chunks. 
2. While chicken is cooking, saute onions and peppers in big saute pan with olive oil. Once chicken is cooked and cut into chunks add it to the pepper and onion mixture and saute together on low. 
3. Boil pasta until done, then drain.  Add to the onion, pepper, and chicken mixture in the saute pan. 
4. Mix everything together and add pesto. Stir until mixed well and serve! 

I hope you enjoy it as much as we do:)
