Chicken Pesto Pasta

This meal took me 15 minutes to whip up with less then 10 ingredients! I made the pesto from scratch using our pesto recipe . This is a family friendly recipe, can be gluten free if you swap the pasta for a gluten free alternative and vegetarian (swap the chicken for edamame beans).
