POLLO AL PESTO | POLLO CON PESTO

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).

Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer, stirring frequently.

Add the pesto sauce and Parmesan cheese to the skillet, stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is well combined.

Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it with the creamy pesto sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.

Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
